Divorce

Has anyone else on here been through this? The first thing my husband attempted to do through his solicitor was to try and downgrade my daughter's disability because of the financial consequences for him.  He also fails to recognise the contribution and sacrifise I made over the years and the effort put in that has allowed her to progress to the level she is at now. Long term she is always going to be dependant on me, but I just wondered how sympathetic the courts were where there is a disabled child/young adult. He is trying to make me sell the house, which I feel is totally not in her best interests as any big changes like this are obviously going to be very difficult for her to cope with. She has just turned 18. Do the courts really take this sort of thing fully into account or are they just dismissive of it as my husband seems to think they will be as he is paying CSA maintenance and thinks that is where his liabilities to her end.  Any advise or suggestions please?  Thanks x

  • Just a note of caution for the benefit of UK Aspie. One bedroom flats are seldom in blocks where the other flats are occupied by quiet little old ladies. You may have been exaggerating for effect, but if you are heading for flat life with AS argue the case for something more substantial that avoids you being sensorily overloaded by neighbours over whom you have no control.

    Apart from what happens often with local authority housing, where people on the spectrum often don't get the detached bungalows reserved for wheelchair users, there's every evidence of what can happen to aspies at university who find themselves living in halls of residence.

  • My son is 20years and I no longer get any money from my ex husband he only paid minimum amount decided by csa until he reached 18 years. He does 'sub' him direct as he is now at University paid for by a student loan. Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear.
