Had mediation this week where former refuses to discuss the children despite them wishing extra time and wants me to move out, let her keep all of the equity and contribute to the mortgage as she cannot afford it.
We are joint owners, both names on the deeds, not married.
Any one else have experience of this as my answers no but she seems to think she will take me to court.
My argument is I can buy her out and give her her half of the equity and kep the house and maintain it for the children.
She cant afford it and cannot maintain it as she is disabled.
Regards,
Dave
I think it is certainly an avenue worth considering - and possibly even charging her a rent (though I'd keep it low) if it looks like it's going your way. Another alternative is to switch the mortgage to interest only, with the proviso that the house is sold (or you are bought out) when the children reach 18.
