Splitting from farmer partner…

Hello, I have had to split from my controlling and emotionally unstable farming partner. He is very narcissistic and is not nice to our dogs. He has never let me help on the farm but whines that he does everything. He’s passive aggressive and is the dictionary definition of gas lighting. He was a good Dad so I put up with it for the sake of my daughter but now it’s starting to affect her too so I have told him I we have to split.
AIBU to expect him to let me have our house split off from the farm along with the field that my horses are in? He has other options for housing and I thought if I offered to not ask for maintenance but I have this part of the farm which he hates anyway? I do have a small financial interest and my solicitor said I can force this. The alternative is that I force him to sell a bit of the farm so I can buy somewhere else as all my money is in his farm. It will all go to our daughter in the end but I just don’t know. My preference would be to live elsewhere but I don’t want to force him to sell a bit of the farm. I feel like I’m stealing it but for our daughter to live how she is now that’s what would have to happen. Any advice or putting me in my place is appreciated as I just don’t know what to do.
Thank you for reading.

So how did you end up giving him this money, and how did you protect it, a legal contract? If it was just handed over to him with him promising to pay you back, and you being unmarried too, then I think you're living in a dream world to expect a house and paddock from him. Sorry.
