divorce, final settlement, does this sound fair

[legalfinalsettlement]

In relationship for fifteen years plus, married almost two years before I left.

I've always worked, been breadwinner, he hasn't due to disability, is signed off.

I bought the house(pre-marriage) paying 70% up front with inherited money, and paying the mortgage since, am still paying all household bills (14 months after leaving and renting myself a place) in order for him not to face financial hardship while he finds somewhere new to live.

whilst we were together he paid me a small amount each week (for bills) which didn't cover half of living expenses, but which was his contribution to bills, but stopped contributing anything other than buying his own food, when I left.

I have some property abroad (derelict) jointly owned with family members (in common) property.

Have offered 50% of net value of house for clean break, rather than go in to all the ins and outs of each other's property, contributions etc.

He wants 50% plus £10k.

My solicitor tells me my offer is very generous.

No children involved.

Any observations on whether you think IABU or he is, gratefully recevied.

Name changed to protect identities.

Thanks.

Offer him just £10k

[prh47bridge]

He is likely to get more than just £10k so I wouldn't recommend offering that.

I agree that your offer is very generous. Whether it is generous enough is another matter and depends on your relative financial circumstances. I don't know how significant £10k is to you as you give no indication of the value of the house. You need to weigh that against the uncertainties and costs involved in going to court if he digs his heels in.

However, you won't get away from all the ins and outs of each other's property. In order to protect yourself you need a full financial disclosure from both yourself and your ex. If there isn't a full disclosure he could come back later and ask for more money.
