Hello everyone,
I have been married for 27 years. We have 2 older children living with us, 20 and 17. However, our marriage is over and I want a divorce. We have not shared a bed for over 2 years and sleep in separate rooms. My youngest son, 17, gets very upset if I exclude his father from the dinner table so I cook for us all so as not to upset my son.
Does this count as being separated under the same roof and therefore grounds for divorce?
My husband says we can't afford a divorce and he doesn’t want one so he wants the status quo to remain.
I have saved enough money to pay rent for a year but it would use it all up and after a year I would have no safety net at all. My husband doesn’t want a separation or divorce and so isn’t going to leave. I am very unhappy and want to go and start again somewhere without him.
Last year, my husband got a small inheritance which he has put into his superannuation fund. I currently have irregular seasonal casual work with few hours.
We have agreed that if we do divorce our older children can choose who they want to live with.
Our home is in both our names and almost paid off. I have a neligible amount in my superannuation.
My husband owns an overseas property in his name only.
My question is:
If I leave the family home will I lessen my rights to property and superannuation?
Many thanks for taking the time to read this and my apologies for the rambling nature of it.
