H seeking divorce suddenly wants to play hard ball.
When we met, he began home renovations. I was nothing to do with the plans as he began it all before I met him.
We had been dating 2 months when the work started and the property became unliveable in, so he moved in with me in my flat. He lived there a year without paying a single penny or helping out with any housework.
I developed an incurable and degenerative disease and after a year off, had to be medically retired. This meant I couldn't afford to pay my mortgage anymore and we moved out of my flat to his house, which was nearly refurbed. I was also pregnant.
I had nothing to do with the renovations because it was all sorted before I came on the scene, and H and his family jointly paid for the costs.
Once I moved in, I organised payment pro-rata of costs, so although he paid for the bills, I paid for holidays, pet costs, car, furniture and furnishings, presents, and everything for the baby. It was fairly distributed.
Now we are divorcing he is trying to claim I have paid nothing towards the renovations which he feels should give him a bigger share in the assets.
Is he right? Can he do that?
