What am I entitled to

Just a quick one...........I have just read this on the forum..........

realistically you probably can't force a sale. It will depend on relative values of property in your area, but once you have factored in estate agents' fees, stamp duty, moving costs, etc. it may not release a lot of money for your ex and the children to have a smaller house. If the house were sold you still wouldn't necessarily get 50% of the value because of the children's need to be housed and your ex being the main carer. So you may have to accept that you have to wait for your share until your younger one leaves home..

Obviously this is not a marriage case and I know that amanda has replied to this,but I have heard peolple say that you cant force a sale,does this only apply to marriages and the kids will needa roof over their heads,but she would sell the house or buy me out and I guess if she couldnt buy me out she would have to sell it and downsize is this correct...

Sorry about this I just need clarification, as the ex keeps saying, she is paying the bills in the house and paying the mortgage,but I keep saying my renting at my new home with my new bills is offsetting me paying the mortgage..........

Arghhhh

Clearly my warnings dont work properly!!!!!

The law relating to married couples and that relating to cohabiting couples could not be more different - it will not be helpful to you to read the ancillary relief forums, just as it is not helpful to the guys who are divorcing to read this.

oooooopppppppsss..

Sorry amanda,please accept my appologies,I didnt mean to offend you.

No no, you havent offened me at all - I just worry about peeps reading stuff on here and thinking it applies, henceI usually start with a warning about it. We are going to separate the forums and have one just for cohabitees I think xxx
