My H and I separated nearly 12 months ago, after a short marriage, during which time i very stupidly paid off all the debts he had when we first met, to the tune of around £10k. I dont have any receipts for any of these payments (in hindsight of course had I known what was going to happen, I would of course kept at least something).
I want to know if I can have this £10k written into the divorce. Background is that he came to the marriasge with nothing and left with nothing. The house was already mine, he just lived with me for around 18months, but due to him dong something dreadful, we were not actually a couple for some time before that.
He was never put on the mortgage, we had a joint bank account at one point, but when we split we changed that.
He had been re-paying me approx £100 a month for the last 12 months, but at that rate its going to take him 10 years to pay it off. He says he cannot pay anymore than that due to having to rent a flat and not earning much.
Any suggestions, not sure what to do, I really need that money back, how would a divorce court look at this?
