Many exes know that's how the system process works including draining savings defending ridiculous allegations. Plus the courts will generally favour the primary carer.. Unfortunately it's just the way it is... 

As I say, stand firm but consider what your walk away point would be to avoid going to court and letting a judge decide.. Its typically how most negotiations go..

 

im expecting the same in my own situation too..

If i dnt get 50 50 I won't be able to rehouse myself even with that I probably won't have enough for a deposit.

Its criminal what they can do and get away with. I would love to be the primary carer and I have more flexibility to be, but as a man we not even given the option or consideration.

Good luck with yr finances to @daddyup.. keep us posted, I got my first hearing for finances in 8 weeks.

First and foremost the courts priority to the housing needs of the children which I think we can all agree is correct in principle, it's just how one party often gets shafted in order to achieve that..

 

I'm hoping that my own proceedings pan out well for me although I'm not holding out much hope.

 

Keep us updated with how you get on with yours and good luck with things too...

ok just a update...

in my child arrangement hearing, i got 60/40 and all shared holidays plus shared residency.  i have also moved closer to where the ex relocated with kids.

i was supposed to have my first hearing this month, but its been cancelled and the other side have said they will go straight to 2nd hearing, as we have already done the Form E between solicitors.   In meantime they want me to fill out some sort of questionaire to give additional information, i dont know what this is about i disclosed everything i had in the Form E which wasnt much, i have 3k in savings, pay child maintenance, im in debt as i borrowed money from family.  My only asset is the house,   so will have to see how this all pans out.

The ex is coming after 65% of the house plus she wants spousal maintenance from me.
