Hi all hope everyone is well.

I am brand new to this site and am hoping that i will be able to get some knowlage etc to make me feel a bit better about my divorce situation.

Short Version - Benn with my partner for 5 years, but only Married for a year, day before out 1st years anniversary he told me he wanted a divorce :o(

I havent bothered to defend the divorce as there has been so much nastyness gone on since he asked for the divorce that i feel there cant be any kind of recconciliation now, i didnt realise how nasty people can be when money is involved etc.

Basically my Husband has decided he doesnt want me to have anything and that i should walk away with nothing.
We have a house which is in joint names, this was purchased a year beofre we got married.
he is saying that although i pay half the Mortgage, becuause he put down the deposit from the sale of his Flat that i am not entitled to anything.

He has a socilicitor, but unfortunaetly due to finacs i had to let mine go and am now representing myself.

Im so confused etc about what to do and how to fight him, im worried that i will end up with nothing and wont be able to start again.

He has forced me out of the house and am now living with friends, yet i still pay half the mortgage ??

Heeeelp would be much appreciated.

Good luck to everyone and i hope that you all get through this stressfull time

a short marriage you each leave with the assets you put in
the deposit should stay with him as he put it in

as for the money you paid into the mortgage
he should be able to buy ...have to buy you out your share of the property

you need to get off the mortgage to save money..... but do so after you have got legal advice

if he only put the deposit down then the remainder of property should be split between depending on what % of the mortgage you and he paid respectively

e.g
50/50 or 70/30 or 99/1 etc

but take legal advice don't rely on me or any other contributor

hoever the lawyers on this site will give you the best answer
