When we bought this house in 2006 I put a third if the cost in from sale of my old house. We put this in 50:50 as I thought we'd be married for life (hollow laugh).
The equity is around £75k and input in £68k, plus paid off debts of £10k of my H,s. I paid the stamp duty, all legal fees and searches , and for painting and carpeting etc.
My dolicitir says that the law says 50/50 so that's where we start. How much could I be awarded ax we have one child? My solicitor said the maximum I would get away with us 75/25 my favour.
We have paid off around £17k in 6 years. I want to offer him £10k on the grounds that he's already had £10k, my mortgage is £10k more than it should have been....
My sols says that he can't force a sale so has to wSig until DD is 18 before he can have the money. Or if I remarry or sell before then. He has to come off the deeds due to previous bankruptcy and tendancy to build up debt so I want him off the deeds do my house is secure.
He always said he would be fair about what I put in.
Is it likely that if he agreed to this that a judge would approve it? My sols said that a judge won't let him walk away with nothing.....
