How much do I have to pay ex if I sell the house?

My ex husband has been paying half the mortgage even though he hasnt lived in the house for nearly 5 years. He now wants to come off the mortgage so it looks like selling is the only option as I can`t get a mortgage on my own. How much of the proceeds will he be entitled to or is it just a 50/50 split?

It would be 50/50 unless one of you can argue successfully why it shouldnt be.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

You should, of course, split the selling costs as well.
It's not really you paying ex. You are jointly selling the house.This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !0
