Hi just found this forum and am desperate for advice, split with my partner last week and am now back living with parents, ive currently got my head in the sand but hopfully this forum is that start of me accepting and moving on,

We have a 2 year old daughter, but after many attempts the relationship is over, however i own the family home and am happy to pay the mortgage for her to continue living in it but what are my rights? who is responsible for the upkeep? could she just walk away at anytime from it leaving me with the house? Im in Scotland will this make a difference

The house has a small amount of equity but with the market, esp in this area it would not sell in the condition its in (started some improvements thinking it would bring us closer together)

Just totally lost at the moment, obv my daughter is the most important thing but there is so much going on

Hi There,

I would imagine (though not 100% sure) that 2 things could happen, your ex could just walk away and leave the house as and when she wanted, or she could stake her claim on a portion of the equity in the property.

I'm sure you have lots going on but I would suggest a visit to a solicitor who can advise in financial side of things.

Are you managing to see daughter?

Darren
