Ok so thank you for taking the time to read this.
So i am looking for some advice about finances regarding my divorce.
First off my ex husband and I bought a home for $140k (now worth 180K) , 20k from me, and 50k from him. Our agreement was that every month I would pay in 2000 pounds a month to our joint account, while he would put in 1000.
After 9 months he lost his job and no longer paid 1000 pounds into our account while I got two promotions , so for 2 and a half years I paid for the mortgage, bills and everything.
In the last year of the relationship i gave him 4000 pounds too.
Anyway, the problem is now that we are separating/divorce. His offer on the house to buy me out is 29k, even though I have been paying everything for two and a half years. I was willing to take a cut at 45k, giving him 55-60k from the profit from the house.
At this point communication has all but broke down with him not replying to lawyers messages.
When looking at the joint account and taking into consideration the money put into the house and the deposit, I have paid in 85k and my husband 70k
Could anyone advise me as the best course of action?
Does anyone know if a financial order would take into account the finances at the end of the marriage and not the beginning?
Thank you.
