Hello Peace. I can sympathize with you over your situation. As your husband has announced that he wants a separation then it appears there is no going back and a lawyer is needed.
First of all, usually who ever gets the best lawyer first wins. Talk with a women's shelter in your area as they can help. At this point your husband cannot make you move out. Even after a couple split, until everything is finalized it takes a court order to force one spouse out of the house. So your husband can promise what ever he likes, but unless it is all on paper in the proper form, it means nothing. if you voluntarily move out, you would be surrendering a lot of possible rights
I did have a friend who thought that he could dump his wife and move in with a younger one , sell the original house , split the proceeds and have enough money to buy another house.
His wife got a good lawyer, she was allowed to stay in the house until the kids were done university and my friend had to pay 1/2 of the taxes, maintenance and upkeep of the property for many yrs and then he could force the sale. So not only did he have to pay child support, he also had to pay to keep the place repaired and the taxes paid and if there had been a mortgage he would have had to pay 1/2 of that too.
As far as him giving you half the value of the motorcycle etc, he has to do that any ways. I presume that you have been together for a long time and if you earn much less than him, because of your disabilities he may have to pay spousal support. But again it's a complicated area of the law. Following my advice, without having a lawyer handle this is just asking for problems.
When you talk to a lawyer, you can ask him the following questions.Do I have to pay all of your fees or does my spouse have to pay some. Can my spouse force me out of the house? What happens if my spouse threatens me physically or abuses me verbally, because I won't move? (Most lawyers would then ask for a restraining order and then it would be your spouse that may have to leave the house)
Once again I can't emphasis enough the need for a good lawyer. I've seen cases were the spouse used the other persons mental illness against them. By being the declared the better person to look after the children he got custody of the children. The wife was then forced out of the home, forced to pay child support payments, 1/2 of the taxes and maintenance payments and in general screwed up a good portion of their life just because she felt "Lawyers are too expensive"
By the way, the courts do not care who or what caused the breakup, nor do they care about what you or I might see as being fair. It matters not a wit whether you have been ill, or you husband has spent too much money or for that matter where your Daughter wants to go to university. The only way to come out ahead on those issues is to talk with a rep from a woman's shelter or abuse centre for advice and then go and see a lawyer as soon as possible. Take Care. paul m
