I agree with you Chatter, she is free to leave on her own.
I've been looking into some of these pesky laws and as much to my surprise, some of them are even fair and make sense.
For example a joint mortgage, means we are both responsible for the repayments on the house regardless of who is living there.
This got me thinking about a few things, if we D I would be responsibly for half the mortgage plus my maintenance payments for the kids. The other big worry of keeping the house would mean that I couldn't get another mortgage whilst I was named on this one.
Child maintenance is something I wouldn't hesitate in paying for and I'm not even bothered about the equity in the house, I just don't want to be paying rent, half a mortgage and child maintenance - I mean you've got to live as well!!
This is all stuff to worry about down the road, but it's stuff I need to think about and get advice about.
I was loving my run this morning, made a point in saying good morning to everybody I passed
I know it might seem selfish, but I'm actually looking forward to some of the perks of being single. I'm gonna make some plans with friends to go to a festival in the summer, either Germany or Holland.
I can take my kids away in the summer, I can make my own plans, I can live my life and live by my choices.
Thanks Cutter, feeling really positive today.
