Hello MNers,
I am scheduled for my final hearing this week. Stbxh has quite a lot of money, we have a young child and I am already working full time. His offer would quite literally impoverish me. We have no shared care and the costs of childcare and groceries/essentials alone would just barely be met. He earns more than 300k. I understand that the needs of the child are prioritised but he is fighting his corner so hard that I fear the judge will think I am unreasonable in what I am asking for.
My solicitors and barrister feel we have an incredibly strong argument but feel it is down to the judge on the day in terms of the capital award, spousal maintenance etc. I just keep imaginings something going horribly wrong and des and I winding up without any money and a massive mortgages can't meet at all.
Do MNers think the family courts are generally fair? Anyone btdt with final hearing?
