Hey Phil .... just to put things into perspective, I may be in a minority but not all women are treated in this way. My lazy ex husband was more than happy to sit back and watch me work hard to pay the mortgage unsupported and then claimed 50% of the house value when we split, regardless of the fact that I was also supporting our son who was still at school. The 25 year mortgage was due to be paid in full last year but I had to remortgage to pay him off and will now be working until I am over 70 years old. He also tried to take 50% of my pension too and having obtain legal advice from a barrister, I had to agree to let him take 25% in the end. He will therefore be living off me for the rest of his life but guess what ......... it’s worth it to be rid of him!
