Selling my home

[mumtoateenger75]

Hi
I own a house with my ex and after a year of living there we split up and he moved out
I continued to pay for house on my own with our two children
Now 12 years later I am trying married and my husband is buying a house which we will move into
I am selling the house I own with my ex
Am I right in saying the profit splits 50/50 or would it be 70/30 as our children reside with me ?

I definitely think you should get more than 50:50 as you were presumably paying the mortgage all that time. You need a talk with a solicitor.

Yes true because t I've heard it makes no difference x

Were you married? How was the property registered?

What has this got to do with human rights?

The ownership of the property was defined in law when you bought it. How you financed it has no bearing on the matter.

Sorry did choose wrong topic
We own it together registered it together but he hasn't lived there for 12 years and doesn't pay maintenance for his 2 kids either

Even if he doesn't live there you can't sell it without his permission if he owns half. You need to consult a solicitor and do everything legally. You need to find out how the sale will be split. Were\are you married to your ex ? It sounds like you need to make a clean financial break legally.

No we wasn't married and yes a clean break is the right thing but just wanted to know if legally he would be entitled to 50%
