Hi not sure if this title is sufficient but feel free to change .Basically my husband and me have decided to split as he had a affair last year actually lived with the person and then came back .
We tried to make a go of it but his old habits returned and he has decided he is unhappy and wants separation .My situation is complicated in that there are 2 children with special needs involved .
The last time we were on a list for mediation for 7 months and i am not willing to wait this long again as there were mortgage arrears etc and he did not pay proper maintenance for the 6 months separated .
I am thinking of going straight to the legal route this time as cant afford this scenario again .My question is given that he has been unfaithful will it mean that i will be looked on favorably by the courts when it comes to maintenance agreements and will it be straight forward .He has said he will pay maintenance etc but i need it sorted asap and also would you advise i wait for mediation despite is prior history.
