Hi my ex got up and left in the middle of the night about a year ago. He left me paying the mortgage ( which is also in his name) utility bills and everything else to pay for food on the table for the kids and a roof over their heads. Am I entitled during the mediation process to declare any of this back by way of how the split of equity is divided? Tia

It’s usual for whoever remains in the house to pay the full mortgage as the counter argument is you’ve had sole use of the property and haven’t paid your ex half the going market rent.

Utility bill s are the responsibility of the user.

As regards providing for children is he paying child maintenance? If not get it sorted as you can’t backdate it.
