I have slept in DD's room since I split up with DP nearly a year ago. We have a mortgage on the house with a small equity and he's finally getting things in place to buy me out as he intends to stay on here. Today he realised that I'm not going to be able to start the process of buying a house of my own until my name is off this mortgage, so that means at least 2 months of me continuing to live here after he has taken on the whole mortgage himself. (I won't be hanging around a day later than necessary).
He didn't propose anything at the time today but I could see him thinking, 'How much should she pay?'. I intend to pay half the bills, food, and children's expenses as normal until the day I move out, but AIBU in thinking he shouldn't try to charge me 'rent' if I don't have a bedroom?
Do I need a solicitor's advice to declare this as fair or not fair? It is hard to decide just by yourself what is or is not fair in these sorts of circumstances when you're in it for the first time.
