Hi
Long time none poster but you guys got me through the initial separation so I'm asking for help again.
My stbexh and I can't agree on the division of the house, he has asked for 50% of the value, whereas I dispute this, when the house was bought it was split 3 ways, with the 3rd party leaving me their 3rd of the house when they passed away (this was 23 years ago) and the reason for that was to protect me should we divorce.
My ex says it shouldn't count anymore as it's such a long time ago, I say that the very reason it was done that way was to protect me and that he agreed to that at the time.
My ex is also pushing for us/me to not attend mediation but agree to a 50/50 split between ourselves in order to save the cost of mediation, and whilst I agree that I don't have much money for mediation I do feel that they would at least see both points of view and help us to sort it.
It also doesn't help that I feel slightly intimidated by my ex - he has never been violent or anything I just feel as if I should say yes to his requests to make him happy, just like I have always done.
Do you have any advice ?
