Short Childless Marriage FMH Split

Hi,

In a short childless marriage lasting less than 5 years involving young parties, is contribution taken into account?

Parties kept their finances & savings separate. The husband funded 100% of the acquisition of the FMH (bought during the marriage) and paid more into the mortgage (75/25 split per month). In addition, he has made the full mortgage payment since separation.

How will the FMH be split given the circumstances above? Can the husband expect the deposit to be returned and then split the mortgage reduced?

Many thanks

Was there anything in place to say what would happen to the deposit?
If it gives both parties enough to move on then could probably argue for return deposit then split equity built up during the marriage 50:50.

Whoever lives there alone usually pays the full mortgage the argument being that they enjoy sole use of the property but are not paying the other party half the market rent.

They may be able to put forward a case for return of capital repayments but not interest. Whether or not it is worth it depends upon amounts involved.

Hey. Was there any outcome at a FH? I am in a very very similar position except I paid 100% of everything. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
