Hi there, im currently seperated after 6 years and i have my own flat. I lived with my partner for 6 years at her address mainly at weekends and holidays as my flat is in another town.

Basically i spent a fortune on her house which i have bank card statements for but my name isnt on the deeds. Is there any way i can get any financial settlement out of this situation or would i just have too put it down to experience and right it off?

Thank,s

Welcome to Wikivorce.

Were you and your partner married?

Did you agree that your investment into her home would be repaid should you separate - or did you spend money on improvements willingly?

If you were unmarried you will have to put it down to experience I'm afraid. Cohabitants in Scotland have limited rights to claim certain money and property (eg household goods acquired together during the relationship) but the law specifically excludes the home where you lived together.

Unless you can get your ex to agree to some form of recompense, but I won't hold my breath on that!
