I have quite a general question, as I have only just decided to separate from my defacto of fifteen years. We have 2 children together, both with special needs (albeit relatively low level but enough to impact my ability to return to work since having them). I didn’t bring a great deal of savings to the relationship despite a great career that would have increased in terms of income had I kept working. My partner bought our property and home and we had the kids soon after. He has continued to work and bring in a lot of money, but I have not. I have raised the children and taken care of the home as well as our large property, including when he as away for several years working.
What am I entitled to after separation? We have a lot of property, shared between us in terms of names on titles. He has control of all our money and it is all tied up In his business. Getting a job may be difficult for me as juggling the kids and work will not be easy, although 2-3 days will be manageable. What would be fair and reasonable?
