Re: Discretionary Trust payment for children - used by father

Is your ex a trustee and are there any other trustees? If there are other independent trustees then that would help. The money can be used for children’s clothes, holidays, living expenses etc so if he genuinely spent it on them and the trustees agreed that he could, then it’s ok. But if the payment...

Re: AuPair/Nanny (share?) Support guidance: Widower & Two small Children in Barnes/Putney

So sorry to hear about your wife. As a widow myself, I would recommend getting a nanny if you can afford it. Au pairs are cheaper but as they are younger and less experienced, you may need to help/supervise a bit more, whereas an experienced nanny can relieve some of the burden completely. A shared ...

Split of responsibilities with your partner

I’m curious as to how many couples have what they would consider a fair split of responsibilities when it comes to housework/admin and children? Despite earning my own money and working often full time hours (I’m self employed), my partner still seems to think that anything related to the home and c...

Re: Family lawyer - recommendation needed

I was in a very similar position about 3 years ago. My husband was an alcoholic and it was a really awful time. I also came to the conclusion that I couldn’t carry on like that, and I know how hard it is to walk away so I really feel for you. Getting some legal advice ASAP is definitely the right th...

Re: Nanny's husband spending time with my daughter, not sure how to deal with the situation?

Just to give a slightly different point of view - our nanny has been with us for 6 years and is part of the family. My youngest was born while she was with us. Her and her husband don’t have children of their own but enjoy being with children. Her husband comes with her when she does extra babysitti...

Re: What is it like to live in these streets in Abbeville village?

I live just off Abbeville with my family and I love it! I think anyone who lives here will tell you the same... Abbeville Road has a good selection of shops and restaurants, you’re really near the common and the tube station, plus a short walk to the high street and the old town. Abbeville has a gre...

Re: wife embarrassing in company when she drinks

Really sorry you’re in this situation - I was also married to an alcoholic and I did the same as you - went to see a marriage counsellor just to get him in front of someone. The thing with that is that those counsellors won’t always be upfront with your partner that the drinking is the issue - they ...

Re: Husband wants us to separate /divorce

So pleased to hear that you have got some advice and now feel more confident about your position. I would definitely get everything in order and file for divorce as soon as you can, if that’s what you want. Your husband sounds very controlling and at least emotionally abusive, and I know from experi...

Re: Husband wants us to separate /divorce

Do not move out and seek legal advice immediately - it doesn’t matter that the house is in his name as all assets are shared when you’re married. If you move out, you will still get a share of the capital in the house in a divorce, but it is preferable to be in the house, especially as you are not w...
