Yep... after 28 years of being together, 26 of them as married, with 3 terrific kids all over 18. Been separated for almost 2 years under the same roof (DAMN, that's hard for a bloke).
While she called the separation, I recently called the divorce coz she refused to do so. She said that the only reason to call divorce is because of plans to remarry? I just don't get it.
Decided the house had to go on the market and a For Sale sign is out the front now
. We have two thirds equity over the mortgage.
Did a list of goods & chattels, valued everything and by what I thought was a fair list for mutual agreement (I'm giving her twice the value of what I want to keep), she is still hostile and in heavy disagreement. While at the same time, she don't wanna involve lawyer$.
She just lost her receptionist job, and advice I've received is that I could be liable for "spousal maintenance" coz of loss of job & earning capacity.
Oh, and she gets to keep the WRX coz my Subi wagon is for my tradie job & we each need a car upon divorce
.
Any advice guys/girls?
