Is it OK for my dad to pay off my husband to allow me to stay in the family home?

I've been to see a solicitor today but I can't remember what she said about this so thought I'd ask on here.
We are going to be divorcing and I own a larger percentage of the house. Is it OK for my dad to pay my husband his share so that I can stay in the property?
I will downsize the property and give the money back to my dad but I want to do it this way to move things along quicker without having to wait for a house sale . I am in the very fortunate position to be able to do this

Yes but the money must go through the solicitor and the necessary paperwork drawn up so your ex cannot come back for more money. Do not do this without a solicitor involved. It’s a regular occursnce.

Is there a mortgage on the property? Does he need to be removed? If so speak to your lender and if they won’t do it then speak to a broker. That may be a larger issue depending on your income. If you can’t borrow the full amount your father could pay off some of the mortgage (if he has spare funds).
