Hi, First post, I will try to write my question in as simple terms as possible as it all gets on top of me.
I have been going through separation for 3 years with no financial agreement decided. The ex will not attend
mediation and gets legal aid due to stopped working when we split.
I have to pay for advise and still not got this over with, anyway I would like to sell the house and move. We are not married and own the house in joint names ( cannot remember which one its called on the deeds but it leaves it open to ague how the shares are split, I was told by my solicitor it was like a business partnership)
I have been paying the repayment mortgage for 3 years with no help from the ex, he has only just started paying CSA in the last 3 months. I have been making big improvements to the house to increase the value as I need to buy a 3 bed house for our children. Boy aged 11 girl aged 15. My solicitor offered the ex a 50% split on the house valuation done a year ago before I made the improvements. The Ex has said NO, he will now pay half the cost of the improvements in order to benefit from the new increased value. Do I have to agree to this ? or is there a legal augment he has not paid into his investment over the past 3 years so why should he benefit now.
I am trying to move because this is what my sons councillor has recommended
