What would stop this?

Wife moved out.

I am living in house and paying 100% mortgage since she left

She has son except every other weekend and once in the week.

She has a well paid job and can support herself to a reasonable standard.

She has suggested a 50:50 equity split, and allowing me to keep 100% of an inheritence I received after she left to buy her out of the property.

No spousal maintenance.
child maintenance to be paid.

I am happy with this - would courts force a different solution.

Also does anyone know the situation with regards to stamp duty when I am buying her out?

Thanks

my husband and i agreed everything between us.he stayed in the house until it was sold and then we split it 50:50. if you dont choose to go to court you dont have to . fill out a few forms and the solicitors follow your instructions. there is a comeback clause if problems arise. I am no expert but why involve courts if not necessary also people have said mediation ( not to get to get you back together)but sort out practicalities.. If you are both happy.....organise things yourself. I trust my ex but so many people have problems i may be naive

If there is an existing mortgage you have to take half the amount to repay the mortgage and add to it any money that is being paid to the person coming off the deeds and if that comes to more than £125k then stamp duty is payable. However, if the transfer is as a result of a Consent Order under matrimonial proceedings then it is exempt anyway. Hope this helps.
