Section 1 children’s act - transfer of property

Hi all,

Just wanting to know if anyone has ever done a successful transfer of ownership (for property) due to the children’s act?

My partner owns the house, our daughter is 6 months old, he pays most of the bills and I pay for all the extras like food, holidays, and all other extra expenses like meals out, days out etc. I have also paid for odd Renovations to the home, but nothing major.

Basically I feel the relationship is going downhill, we’ve started arguing a lot etc and recently he has started saying things like “this is my house”, “don’t speak to me like that in my house” etc etc.

I have heard that you could apply for a transfer of ownership till the child is 18, but I’m not sure how common this is and I haven’t heard of anyone who has actually done it. Just looking for advice please?
