    You mention your partner, so I assume you weren't married.

    Unless you had an agreement at the time the house was bought, it's 50/50. It's a bit later to play the £7k deposit card now. You should have had an agreement drawn up at the time the house was purchased. Still 50% is better than nothing.

    You have no obligation to pay maintenance to your partner. However, you do have a duty to support your child. That may include continuing to pay the mortgage on the house so that your ex- and son can continue to live there. Your solicitor can advise.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    There is also a case of domestic violence logded against me in which i accepted a caution to avoid going to court. Basically i grabbed her to remove something from her hand. I was wrong and it is not something which i hope will have an effect.

    I am ashamed about the way this country hands out cautions without offering people the chance to see legal advice.
    "It's only a caution"

    Yeah right.

    Speak to a solicitor as you will need proper advice on how to avoid the situation getting worse.

    Do not touch, hug, or stand near the person in a threatening way. Seriously.
