My partner and I are separating and I was wondering what a reasonable and fair settlement would look like. Here are the details:- Married for 7 years, co habiting for 13 years - No children - W 42yo, I’m 39yo- Joint mortgage on property, valued at £300k with £100k outstanding mortgage. My income is roughly 35k per year, her income is around £18k per year. No private pensions or other assets. Thanks in advance for your advice. Jim

No reason from what you’ve put why it can’t be a 50/50 split.
At £18k pa presumably your ex isn’t currently working full time? What are their plans to do so?
