Has anyone had experience with this.
There's a hearing on the 6th of February.
It's been 23 weeks now with no contact with him after what he done. From the day he was arrested.. nothing. No explanation whatsoever.
He's now going for half the house and contact with kids although that'll need to be supervised.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is this the first hearing, in family court? Has anyone explained the process to you at all/have you got a solicitor or heard from social services?
This is the first hearing I do have a solicitor and I'm hoping to meet them before the hearing to go over what to expect.
My social worker closed the case a few weeks after this mess and I've not heard from his one at all nor his solicitor.
Total silence from him since he was arrested 30th July.

If it's the first hearing then it's quite possible no decisions will be made, other than to order reports which would be used to determine what's in the child's best interests. This might include a section 7 or 37 report to be completed by a social worker. These sections of the children act are used when decisions need to be taken about where a child should live/who they should see - you can have a quick Google to find out more and ask your solicitor whether this is likely to be needed.
It is possible the judge could make an interim order for contact but given the nature of the offences if this does happen it is more likely to be supervised in a contact centre at his expense. However if there are no current reports etc in my experience they are more likely to just order reports and adjourn until these are completed
When attending court dress as smart as you feel comfortable to do and don't be scared to ask your solicitor lots of questions. Sometimes the judge will ask you direct questions but more often they only speak to the solicitor
I'm afraid I don't know about the splitting assets part of your query but I hope it all works out in your favour
Best of luck
