Hi all...HELP Please!
Had a Consent Hearing, Judge said wasn't fair to stbx, as I kept the asset (house) which I owned 7yrs prior to marriage, and always paid mortgage -by myself!. When married remortgaged and borrowed extra to pay his personal debts (£15k) and my personal, and for renovations to house. Married for only 3 yrs, separated now for over 3.5yrs.
Decree Nisi Aug 17 (only just applied for Absolute- was advised to wait until finances sorted). Judge directed first hearing (Form E) for disclosures. He agreed to transfer deeds to my young adult son, who is now joint owner with me, and had been contributing to help me since 2016 (sadly now unemployed).
Worried Judge will make me sell house. Can I argue house is only 50% mine? Options to give him money ie offer £10k? Early repayments (in fixed period) £13k - can he wait until I sell house after fixed rate ends?......so many questions
