  • Not quite correct, but I shall explain a little more as i've not made things very clear I don't think.

    I walked out of the marital home in January, and the house is actually in her name not mine, which is the reason she is still there. She has stated she wishes to keep the house and buy my equity stake via a remortgage, so i'm not too unhappy with that scenario.

    I do have some furniture assets in storage - which i'd actually forgotten about in terms of my original SOA, oops - but in all honesty nothing of substantial value.

    The debt is a mixture of my own and my share of marital debt. Well I say marital debt, some of it I did not know about when I lfet so i'm due some criticism for that, but i've taken on 50% of it,

    Thanks for clarification, OP. If the house is under her name, then that becomes more understandable.

    My initial suggestion would be to sell off the furniture assets, as this might also remove any storage charges you may be paying for that as well. Not ideal, but it's essentially assets that you could argue aren't being used for the time being so they can have their value unlocked.

    My second suggestion might not go down to well, but if there are marital debts you're not sure about, it might be worth sitting down and working out exactly what you personally owe out of that. I guess though it boils down to whether or not you're willing to pay 50% of it and just be done with it, draw a line in the sand and move on from there.
