Is my ex entitled to my house
26 Answers
My ex walked out on me over a year ago and claims domestic violence, which is unture.
My ex keeps making remarks that she is entitled to living in the house or have a proportion of it, and that our son is entitled to live in the house until he is 18.
She was not on the mortgage and did not pay anyhthing towards it, I paid it all, she did not pay any bills, or contribute in any way to the house appart from the odd bit of shopping, although she tries to claim she has paid something.
we were together for just over 2 year, and not married.
we have been through the court system for contact with our son, and the house was not brough up at the time.
she is now struggleing with rent of her own house and is wanting me to help her out but I do not have the money as she left me in alot of debt, and cannot get a council house until she has explored the avenue of seeing if the is entitled to my house.
I bought the house for 148500, not worth 125000, and I am also in negative equity.
so my question is, is she entitled to my house?
and is my son entitles to my house ot live in it?

The boot was on the other foot for me when I left my husband. The house was mine and I had to leave with my kids as he wouldn't get out.
I had to sell it and then get a order to have him removed from the property.
It was very very messy and very expensive.
Nearly all I made off the house went on legal fees.
We were married along time though and not just a few years.
I now have to rent as there is no way I can buy a property again.
Moral of the story , Stay single and happy ???

Your ex has no rights to a share of the house. If she was she would be responsible for her half of the negative equity in the house.

wow thank you for the quick responses.
she is currently asking for £1000 "loan" and paid back in the sense of I reduce my monthly mainenance (which is cash ech month) so pay of her arrears of her rent, and If I am unable (or blackmailing) to do is to go through CSA which will bancrupt me, but she would be no better of as she will then have to delare the maintance. But she keeps suggesting I should put my son first, obviously I do not want him to go homeless, as he has a home with me, but she puts the guilt trip on me when I cannot as I dotn ahve the money.

DO NOT pay her maintenance in cash.
In a few years she will go to the CSA herself and claim that you have never paid maintenance. Unless you have records, they will take her word and hit you with a bill for thousands.
The CSA are, actually now, not as bad as they have been. Approaching them yourself may be uncomfortable, but it will save you greater headaches and heartaches later on.
