Hi Everyone,
My wife of 9 years told me she had fallen in love with someone else and was leaving me to live with him.
I stayed in the marital home with our two young children whilst she moved out.
The relationship she left me for is now no longer and she is staying with her parents whilst I'm still in the marital home.
She is not in a position financially to support running the house or children, so I therefore am staying here and paying all bills and mortgage, whilst she has kept the family car.
Naturally I want to stay in the house as it wasn't me that wanted to leave, and it wasn't me that had an affair.
The equity in the house might be £15k, plus some pensions that aren't huge, apart from that no other assets.
Would it be best to sell the house and have a split down the middle and we both go our separate ways, would I be liable to support her get her own place and for how long?
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
