Split up with the ex wife and moved into my own place (had to as it was being made difficult by her family) All marital debt was in my name so I have continued paying it to avoid being blacklisted but it’s left me next to no free money.

Currently going through mediation but she thinks I should carry on paying all the debt and live in the joint owned house until our youngest is 18 (8 more years!) so its looking like it’s going to fail.

I have raised the £600 to apply for divorce but not sure where to go from here, I have no money for anything much afterwards and not entitled to anything due to working and having a joint owned property

I have contacted a few solicitors that advise I’d be looking at thousands and the free hour they give is pretty much a sales pitch.

Help!
