Hi there,
My question to you is, can I expect a closer to 50/50 split of the asset pool and property settlement, with a 50/50 custody of children arrangement?
My wife has been the major earner and myself the main caregiver and I have made many improvements to our small 26-acre property ie, fencing sheds, granny flat and renovations, kitchen and bathroom. Initial contributions I made were around the 100k while her initial contributions was a deposit of around 25k on our first home and a car debt of roughly the same.
We have about 380000 equity in the marital home. Over the last 5 years, she has redrawn to the tune of 100k from our mortgage because I trusted her with my password to do the right thing and left the financials up to her, only finding out now I should not have. Should I just say goodbye to this money or could I fight it?
