I left my ex due to domestic abuse. We have a child under 2. He hasn't seen him in almost a year - court ordered only indirect access. We bought a house together in 2017, and when I moved out around a year ago, I stopped paying towards the mortgage. He has offered me money based on what I have paid in. I've been given conflicting advice but have been told that this isn't how it works, and due to the fact we are both 100% responsible for owning the property, I am still entitled to half. I had to move out and am currently living with parents. He also hasn't had the house valued and the value of the property may well have gone up (but my fear is asking for a valuation to find that the value has in fact gone down). I have no money, I can't afford a solicitor to help me. Not entitled to legal aid due to the fact I have a mortgage. Can anyone advise on what I should do here? I don't want to be screwed over.
