My ex to whom I''m still married (but moving towards a divorce) hasn''t paid child maintenance for the 3 years we have been separated. He is saying that he has paid the mortgage in lieu of this. Is that a valid argument?

Hi
It would rather depend on how much the mortgage is but it is a reasonable point of view. Could you afford to pay the mortgage on your own ?

Thank you for replying to my first post. All a bit of a first for me:( you''ve hit the nail on the head. No I can''t afford to take it on. The mortgage is in both our names and he wants to be free of it. I won''t get a mortgage on my own though.
