I Have Seperated And Soon To Divorce With My Wife And We Have Two Children I Would Like Exact 50

I have seperated and soon to divorce with my wife and we have two children. I would like an exact 50 percent split with the children in all aspects including financial. She is on very slightly less money then me, and still believes she should be entitled to money in her words 'to top up her rent payments'. I too will be paying for rented accomadation i do not agree i should be paying her rent aswell. Where do i stand on this?

Public Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

Finances and children matters can be complicated and there may be no right or equal division of assets or share re contact time. Everything will assessed before a decision can be made by the courts i.e. parties’ financial disclosures, assets, needs and contribution to the marriage. More importantly the children’s needs will have to be met foremost.
