It will depend entirely on your circumstances. My first husband and I split in our 40s, he paid me half of the value of the house in which he was remaining, as I had paid half into the mortgage etc over the years. You need to seek legal advice before you finalise your separation order, as that will lay out all the financial details.

Seriously, you'll get conflicting advice and generlistic comments on here. Best see a solicitor

Agree with postdog - any of us who've done this will have different circumstances and experiences.

ummmm

Yes...as the other have said. Each case can be different.

That is a fair generalisation, but again, not cast in stone.

Who's going to have him at over 60?

Jemisa - I know several ladies and chaps who have separated or been widowed, and started very well again at over 60!

ummmm

My Uncle is 60...he's fit, good looking and looks in about his 40's...

Postdog

Blimey, me and the other half are 5 years off sixty and we are relatively new together!
