seperation

my ex boyfriend has moved out of my home I bought the house pay the mortgage and all the bills he used to give me money not albeit every month and now he taking me to court for a financial interest in my home.
It looks like its going to cost me a lot of money as he has legal aid even tho he has his own business and working but fraudulently claiming job seeekers allowance and they wont overturn his legal aid. at the end of the day im going to lose my home its so unfair

May depend upon whether you owned house before he moved in etc. Who is on the deeds ?

Thankyou for the links but they are wrong. I own the house deeds and all pay every bill but it depends on the judge, the land registry tell you give them a rent book and they cant claim a thing, I no of two people who have lost their property because of a judges ruling and gave the boyfriend half. Believe you me I wont fall for it again 30 grand in legal fees and homeless at the end of it.

Sorry of no use. I suppose you have already done this but itemise all that you have paid and make good guesstimates of what he gave you. Best of luck.

I didnt think there was any common law rules any more, so unless your married or he registered an interest in the property and logged everything he paid you, i wouldnt think he has a leg to stand on????

I lived with my girlfriend for two years or more and paid £400 a month, but I very much doubt I would have got anything!!

I remember from years ago when common law was recognised, if a person had lived in their partners house, not married, about all they could hope for was a share in the profits of how much the house had increased in value during the time they had lived there. ie if the value had gone up by £10K and they could prove through upkeep and payments they had contributed to this they might have a claim on £5K? but scetchy at best.
I wouldnt worry and I wouldnt waste money on solicitors, Would like to know how you go on, if you think about it, if he had a claim, how many relationships and households would that affect??!!??

Thats my understanding of the situation as well. Also I agree with the statement about NOT spending money on solicitors. Of course you could always do what my cousin did. Sold house as it was in his name and said sue me. The other side got zilch.
