Hi,
I’ve just applied for a divorce and not sure how to sort out the house issue. It’s an amicable spilt and our kids are over 18 and going to university this year. I am living with my new partner and my ex lives with the kids and pays the mortgage, although it is a joint one. We won’t be able to afford much if we sell and we want to keep a family home for the kids for a few more years. I am happy for him to live there for a few years but when we sell I would like a fair share of the sale.

As the kids are adults, is there an alternative to the Mesher order? I am very confused atm and would appreciate any advice.
Thank you

Just change the trigger points to ones you both agree.

Get it drawn up carefully tho. If you agree something like youngest child completing first degree imagine if they drop out now then go back and it ends up being 25 years old when the complete when you envisaged 21.

Also what are your current living arrangements? If your new relationship broke down would you still be able to house yourself until the agreed sale date/buy out of the FMH?
