Ex partner wants money from home

Rebecca1121

Hi everyone
Just posting this for a bit of clarity really

I split from my partner around 2 years ago now, we were never married, the mortgage on my home is only in my name
I received a letter recently from ex' solicitors that he wanted equity from the sale of the house, it stated jointly owned on the letter - which is not true
All the bills and mortgage payments were paid directly from my bank account with next to no support towards any of these payments from him yet he believes he is entitled to it?

I responded to the letter stating it isn't jointly owned and I want to hear nothing back from this - which I haven't as of yet (been about 2 weeks now)

Can anyone here confirm that I'll be okay?

My first impression is that your ex sounds like an idiot and desperate.

What would the basis of his claim be? even if he did contribute some bills legally it doesn't mean he's still entitled to any sales proceeds.

I really wouldn't worry about it at all based on what you have said.

Did he live with you for long?

He sounds like a chancer..!

If there is no evidence to support that he contributed then there is little chance of him getting anything awarded.

Sounds like your reply was suitable.

If he want's to spend more money on legal action he is unlikely to win then let him.....
