House - his mum gave most of deposit

I'm currently a SAHM with two young children. The older starts school in September. I feasibly should be able to find work I can do from home in my prior field. However, we currently live in London and I won't be able to afford to keep living here. I think the best option would be moving near my parents, where I would also have a bit of childcare help.

We have owned a home together for two years. I contributed a portion of the deposit, but the vast majority came from his mother as a gift. How would this be divided up in a divorce?

I'm trying to work out the feasibility of setting up a home for me and my kids close to my parents, which is much cheaper than London. I'm resigned to the fact it will probably be back to renting.

and it fundamentally impacts them re sports/clubs/activities/friends as they grow.
