STBX moved out of the family home about 3 weeks ago. We can't afford to divorce as yet, but he has agreed to accept £5000 in instalments of £200 pcm as his share of the equity in the home. He is not in a position to pay any child maintenance as he is a full time student.
I'm concerned that without a divorce he will be able to change his mind in a few months/a year and just move back into the home. We're reasonably amicable at the moment, but I can't be certain that things will stay the same.
So, I was wondering if I could see a solicitor and have a contract drawn up stating that the property is mine once the £5000 is paid and have his name removed from the deeds (I'm not in a position to remortgage right now)? Would this be a document we could use as the basis of our divorce settlement once it comes to it?
