Hi
My husband and I began living together in his property Feb 2007. We married in 2010. We don't share bank accounts. We have not had children together though I have my youngest living with us and he considers him to be his dad. I pay for groceries & contribute to general upkeep on his property. I also built a large home office here. My own home has been rented out since Feb 2007.
He has been in the military & Department of Defence since he was 16 and I'd say his superannuation would be sizable. He was born in 1960. I gave up my business once I moved here and have a very small income & low super.
He is of the opinion that whatever I came with is what I go with, that's it. Is that correct? I would have thought we'd look at what we both have and work it out from there.
It is really sad because I thought we'd always be together. Maybe we can work through issues but I think I need to fully understand how the property settlement process would work in this situation.
Thanks for any assistance.
