That would be my situation if that happened as I have always been the main income earner and I bought our home. But i do understand if someone, whether they are male or female and have given up their career for their partner to look after the children or caring for older or disabled relatives . Then they deserve half. I do not know how long they Steve/Michelle have been together as a couple. I know they have not been married long. I hope the storyline keeps to the law and does not give wrong messages out there.

My friend´s husband has always worked and had a much greater income, even now ...

can he claim half her wedding planning business

Possibly. Everything is usually split between a couple. Although negotiations can be made.

Coronation Street’s Steve McDonald races to the registry office to catch Leanne Battersby as she fills in their baby’s birth certificate
With the stress of keeping secret his baby with Leanne Battersby etched on his face, Steve McDonald now faces a race against time to get his name on the tot’s birth certificate.
Fortunately, the unlucky-in-love Rovers landlord (Simon Gregson) also owns a taxi firm – making his journey to the registry office super speedy, especially when he is running late.
This week, The Sun revealed Steve’s marriage to Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) would come crashing to an end after she finds out about his infidelity – just weeks after suffering a tragic miscarriage with their own child.
We were then first to report in The Sun’s Bizarre TV Column, Leanne (Jane Danson) will be in for a rough ride as she is forced to give birth in an unconventional setting.
New teaser shots for the soap now show a worried Steve hopping behind the wheel of one of his Street Cars vehicles and putting his foot down to get to the venue in time.
Wearing a leather jacket and jeans, he storms out of the silver motor with his eyebrows furrowed into a worried stare.
He charges straight through the door where he looks intent on finding Leanne before she pens her name on the document.
The images hint at a fracas between the pair with Steve perhaps eager to keep his name off the official papers, after keeping schtum about the baby since Leanne told him she was expecting.
Fans are now left in limbo to see exactly what his intentions are when the show airs next month.
Meanwhile, Leanne's pregnancy won't be a smooth ride.
A Corrie insider told us Leanne would soon go into labour in a lift. and revealed: “Leanne faces a hellish birth as she gets stuck in a lift at Victoria Court just as her waters break. Her step-sister Toyah has to be the midwife.”
Despite the difficult labour, the new baby brings her and Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) closer together: “They decide to once again walk down the aisle, but Leanne’s secrets are bound to come out.”
While Nick knows that Steve McDonald is the biological dad of her baby, not many other people do.
One person who does know about the big secret is Leanne’s ex Peter Barlow, who Steve confessed to earlier this week – which could have been a major mistake on his part.
Meanwhile Michelle is set to throw her marriage with Steve in complete jeopardy when she discovers his secret.
She will file for a divorce from the pub landlord as she finally finds out Steve has got Leanne pregnant after a drunken one-night stand.
And the barmaid’s fury sparks a full-on battle on the cobbles over The Rovers, as she brings in the lawyers to take control of the pub — while Peter Barlow also decides he’d like to get his hands on the local landmark.

So much for being a friend Peter

it be nice to have a genuine emotional scene of grieving from him without buffoon silliness

Finally done the right thing

Finally done the right thing

It made me laugh when Steve said he finally told the truth for Michelle's sake. He had no intention of doing so until he held his son and fell in love with him. It was a selfish act, even though it's better for all (except perhaps Nick) that the truth is out.
