How to split costs

[fluffbear123]

Hi all. Brief info. Husband and I have been separated for almost a year though we have been spending time together as we want to work things out.
I live in my home owned outright. When we split last year i decided to move to pay off small mortgage. This was also my home from first divorce. We are both married for second time.
If we eventually live together again any idea as to how to split bills etc. He earns twice my wage and at present has been living at his mothers for free other than buying food. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for reading.

I'd be more worried about how you protect your asset. He will have claim to it as you are married.

Did he contribute to the mortgage pay off?

He has never contributed to any mortgage payments over the 15 years together or the pay off of the mortgage. Everything has always been in my name and we signed an agreement to say the house would remain mine in the event of a split. This needs to be done again I think before we live together.

I'd come up with a figure for him to pay each month. The house is yours and will remain yours so I don't think you can ask him to pay 50% of all bills on a house he doesnt own. Maybe 50% of the bills based on usage, and food etc. But insurances, council tax things like that, I dont think he should pay 50% of them. Also, some sort of rent. So I'd come up with a figure that kind of covers him living there.
