Ex seeking 45% of house despite no mortgage contributions after separation

It was a short marriage—4 years and 9 months—with no kids. My ex moved out about 4 years ago and never asked for support. I was the main contributor—my ex never paid a cent of the mortgage, and I have proof. Now, at 61, I cannot work due to severe depression. Despite this, she's asking for 45% of the house, though he never contributed financially. I have an FDR hearing in a month. Has anyone encountered a similar situation, or have insight on how this may be viewed? Thanks in advance!

Well there are a number of factors to take into consideration but given the house was a pre existing asset and your ex paid nothing in to the mortgage and you have no dependent children plus a short marriage 45% seems steep. Also you are now unable to work so that will have to be taken into account.
