Have you asked?I would not have the option of part time even I wanted too
You purchased property is it in your sole name ? If so why didn’t you add your wife to the mortgage?Myself and my spouse are separating . We are 10 months separated. I moved back to my family . She remains in the home with the 4 children . She works part time and is now in receipt of weekly state benefits. My query is I’m paying the full mortgage as I have always done . Until this month I’ve paid all utilities. I’ve cancelled these and now will be giving her 250 cash . Should I attempt the get the courts to sell the family home ? I purchased the property pre marriage and has circa 100k equity. Without the sale I cannot afford to buy or rent . She will obtain full HAP benefits in addition to whatever maintenance she is awarded plus existing state benefits. My salary is 65k . After all bills etc she is significantly better off than I am currently. I feel I am being very unfairly treated with little hope of improvement in the future . My solicitor to date seems very hesitant to give me solid advice around potential outcome when we get to court . Spouse has refused a separation agreement and mediation fell apart . Any advise at all is welcome . Thanks
Do you have children? Are you working?my spousal support
I’ve been advised legally that purchasing the property pre marriage and in my sole name makes little difference once married . The spouse has a beneficial interest in the property and is protected by family law . I will be paying the full mortgage until the property is sold / terms agreed within the divorce.You purchased property is it in your sole name ? If so why didn’t you add your wife to the mortgage?
I’m currently in this situation my ex bought pre marriage but committed adultery and left in 2018 I’m still here I pay all utilities and maintain the house he can be difficult my spousal support is paying towards the mortgage but my names not on the mortgage which I’m challenging in court as I’m left to maintain all the plumbing electrical work etc regardless I own equity I’m living here 10 years but my circumstances are different there’s abuse involved and coercive control
Have you looked into housing for all scheme ?
My understanding is spousal support does not exist in irish law but open to correction on thisDo you have children? Are you working?
It very much does exist.My understanding is spousal support does not exist in irish law but open to correction on this
i like that idea.How about shared custody 50:50. You overnight at the mortgage property every second week, stay at parents when your ex has the kids. She can stay at her parents/new partner when she is not the care giver. Maintenance will be just usual expenses as per now.
That scenario traps both parents in that they cannot move on and the "significant other" with the most influence on their life remains their ex-partner with whom they at odds.i like that idea.
there is no ideal solution, but as for always put the children first, what about the poor chap forced out of his house...I'd refuse to move and send her packing to a 1 bed flat.That scenario traps both parents in that they cannot move on and the "significant other" with the most influence on their life remains their ex-partner with whom they at odds.
There is no ideal solution but sharing a PPR for the next few decades puts both parents in a state of limbo and will probably result in a constant state of acrimony which will hurt the children.there is no ideal solution, but as for always put the children first, what about the poor chap forced out of his house...I'd refuse to move and send her packing to a 1 bed flat.

In family law, the focus is on the welfare of the children. Nothing to do with "sympathy".father that has to move out, then the mother gets the court's sympathy
In theory.In family law, the focus is on the welfare of the children. Nothing to do with "sympathy".
The Tax Credit goes to whomever gets the Children's allowance and that's the mother unless the court decides otherwise. That might change after the upcoming referendum.We've been around this loop before.
You've stated that you did not follow up on the remittance of children's allowance for what were doubtless good reasons at the time.
This does not mean that others are precluded from doing so.
Additional tax credits follow the primary carer; its not gender based.
Yep, Joan Burton took it from separated fathers.The credit used to be available to both separated parents & was removed several years ago, a mistake in my view.
Show me the legislation where it states the tax credit is gender based.took it from separated fathers
Mothers automatically get the children's allowance. The person who gets the children's allowance is assumed to be the primary carer.Show me the legislation where it states the tax credit is gender based.
