Would welcome input from anyone who has got divorced in their 60's. I married at 22 and had 3 children by the time I was 30. As well as caring for the family, I also worked alongside my husband in our business. He ran the retail side of things, while I did repairs, learned about the internet, developed our online presence and also worked in the shop to cover when he was out seeing clients. My income was scant, rarely earned enough to pay NI contributions, no private pension, just husbands with me as spouse. Fast forward to 3 years ago. He wants a divorce, now selling house. As we have been together over 40 years, everything is divided 50/50 (house) EXCEPT his pension! I have asked for 50% of the value of the pension, which is in payment, as cash. I have gone back to work full time. I am mid 60's. He & his solicitor have refused point blank and have offered 33% of the total, rather than 50% - any thoughts would be gratefully received, thanks
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
