Marriage just over 10 years. H living in matrimonial home and paying all mortgage.

Main priority will be housing children.
How big is matrimonial home? Could she afford running costs of it or is it bigger than needed?
How much would a three bed house cost to buy or rent?
Are there any other assets such as pensions?
All contributions to s marriage are seen as equal so it doesn’t really matter who earned what.
