Ex and I split late last year. I about Feb we agreed thw settlement. I filed for divorce and told my solicitor what we have agreed so he could draft up the financial agreement.
Decree nisi is through. I can apply for absolute from mid Sept but cannot do this until financial agreement is in place. My solicitor has sent a draft though. I've given it to ex to check (what we agreed is all there). Now he's suddenly decided to mention more equity from the house. Ffs.
Agreement was I keep the house, gets signed over to me as I put a substantial deposit in and paid about 20k doing it up. Ex paid the small mortgage for over 4 years. He gets a 5k settlement from me remortgaging into my name. I only work part time and can afford our small mortgage alone but it's very unlikely id3be lent any more. Something which I've told him.
He gets to keep his pension. It's a good one. Mine only started last year so worthless basically.
I'm also entitled to spousal maintenance as he earns nearly triple what I do (I can only work part time due to health issues). I am forgoing this in order to have the house.
Now ex has suddenly thrown up about a small inheritence he received years ago that went on our old mortgage. I had forgotten about this. It effectively means he may want nearly 15k instead of the 5k he agreed. It's extremely unlikely I'll be able to borrow this plus the mortgage that's left.
I'm annoyed. We dealt with this 6 months ago. My solicitor said I'd offered him a good deal. Ex saw 2 solicitors who obviously didn't tell him different as he's never asked for anything more. He isn't using a solicitor. We are splitting the cost of mine as it's an amicable divorce.
I don't know what to do. I'm slightly panicking as the house was going to be my security. We have 2 DCs who live with me and stay with ex 2/3 nights a week.
