Hi all,
Newly joined here – I’m newly separated after husband commuted adultery.
He moved out at the start of the year, I claimed for benefits as a single person as my wage is not great.
I just wanted to ask if I “have” to get an official separation agreement, one that goes through the court at £300+?? At the moment I don’t have it in me to file for divorce, our separation has been agreeable – he pays maintenance and is helping with childcare due to being furloughed from work.
We live separately and finances are separate except for the car is still shared between us, whoever has the kids has the car for that time.
I hope this makes sense, I just wanted to check we are okay to not have a legal separation agreement in place? I do email him receipts to acknowledge the child maintenance being paid, but that is as far as it goes.
Would appreciate your input, thanks.
