Split from husband 18 months ago. He released some equity from our home. We had a house worth 350k with 117k left on mortgage. He gave me 65k as this was all he could afford.
He stayed at the 4 bed house we had. I bought 2 bedroom to raise our son.
I did this because it was unbearable living under the same roof and wanted out.
I didn't say this was a settlement only a way of moving out.
I want to get divorced. Have I shot myself in the foot for the remaining 50k? I haven't signed anything to say I wouldn't have a 50% share of equity. Only that I came off the mortgage.
I think in my haste to leave I've financially done myself. I will seek legal advice also I'd just be keen to know if anyone else has been through the same.
My ex says the 65k was the settlement.
