I am 59, married for 30 years and want to leave DH after years of things not really working.
He earns in excess of £100K if you include benefits, is due to retire in 2 years with a final salary pension.
We have a house which would be sold and out of that we'd buy a smaller property each.
I have been s/e for over 15 years and earn not very much- about £15K at the most, having devoted most of my time to bringing up our 2 DCs, now left home.
My question is, would I get any maintenance if we split now? Would I be entitled to 50% of the pension pot- a lump sum and yearly income if we divorced?
I'm too old to go back to the career I had before children, and in fact will get a small pension myself next year.
I could possibly increase the amount of work I do s/e but it's not guaranteed and wouldn't give me a living salary.
Any ideas?
