    If she is earning less than him, surely she would be entitled to more in order for her to be able to buy a similar property to his? I don't see why he has calculated that he need £120k to her £50k??? As she is not getting her full £200k back!

    PS. I'd watch the proceedings very very carefully, this could be you in a few years time!!!

  • That would be the size mortgage for similar size properties for them both and she would need a 50k mortgage if the settlement was done by DOT.
    Anyway he has spoken to solicitor today and she is fighting that the DOT has to stand and to take the house off the market until the settlement figure has been reached
    Thanks for all replies
