Have i been making mistakes too long part 5

That's a minefield. I approached the subject of splitting finances, but my W went in to meltdown. If/when W moves out, then that will be a cert. I'll look after my kids, but W will be on her own. For legal reasons, as we're selling the house, it makes sense to keep a joint bank account/credit cards etc. otherwise the bloodsuckers (Lawyers/solicitors) will require us to sign an agreement and let the court deal with our assets and, obviously, charge us a fee for this privilege. That's the law in this part of the UK and I'm not having some lawyer telling me what to do with my cash!
