order for sale

[Ladybird37]

exh and I divorced 6 years ago with no financial arrangement in place, no kids. We agreed later that I would try to get a mortgage to buy him out, but I am now on benefits and have not been able to do this. I have since remarried. He is taking me to court to force the sale of the house, but I think that after this much time I would like to keep it as its my home and he's now in a much better financial position than I am. What are the chances of this being successful?

I think he may well be successful if there are no children involved a dog you can't take over the mortgage.

He has a 100% chance of success. No doubt about that, unless you were married for 5 minutes and you funded the house purchase on your own, or there's something similarly earth shattering that you've not told us.

No, we bought it together and married for 4 years. Is it likely that the court would split any profit 50/50 or might I get more as our circumstances are so different?

I don’t think your personal circumstances are relevant but IANAL

Sorry OP, but have you posted about this before? If not, there has been a very similar one, and IIRC the hive mind there thought that the former DH would be successful in getting the house sold. Is your ex DH still paying the mortgage then, or have you/new DH been paying it?

On the face of it, can't see what rightful claim you would have over this at all. TBH it sounds like your ex has been too patient. His now improved circumstance v your own is not relevant is it?

No, not posted before but will look for the post. Dh and I have paid the mortgage since exh left
