LBS trying to get it right

[ATPeace]

Neither of us would be able to afford our current house

She is not money oriented she never has been

She says that so long as we are getting along then we can all keep living together but if it not working for anyone then we will sell and move to separate houses

Our finances are tight they always have been

But my father passed away last year and left me some money aprox £30k .....still has not finished going through probate but I was going to pay a chunk off our mortgage however now not sure this would be a smart plan now

All my wife says she would want is half the value of our house after mtg paid back arround £300k each

Life is so crap my mother has also just changed her will to include my wife and our kids each getting shares of her estate so I believe she is in the process of having it changed again to exclude W and to make sure that my kids share is not placed into trust with both me and my W as trustees as I feel that W could potentially block things if I want to give our children some of their share and she objects
