    I did not mind spending the money because I had a rent coming in from my property.

    Mmm. Yes, that was one of the possibilities I had in mind.

    He sounds like a lovely chap.

    If you regarded it as his flat, then you were spending money on his flat.
    If he was regarding it as YOUR flat when it came to spending money, then he seems to have changed his mind quite quickly.
    I never considered it as his or my flat. It was our home.

    Following my departure he demanded that I gave the house back to him and I said it was his anyway and from my point of view, legal ownership mattered little.

    I'm out.

    Mum died, father was taking it bad, I lived alone in a place bigger than I needed so offered him the option of living with me. There were two pensions coming in and then just one when mum died. I did not and would not charge him anything to live with me and the idea was also to save on the rent he was paying alone. He wanted the flat because he felt a ground floor would be easier. He just became bitter because I met someone. I never even took them into the flat and it was a platonic relationship but he dislike not getting 100% from me.

    Why would AdrianC misunderstand my post.

    Because you haven't been consistent about what you've said.

    I have a son silvercar

    I honestly can't see where I've not been consistent. Legally, the property belongs to me I would have thought. Emotionally things are different. Emotionally the property was bought as a home for my father. If he wants to consider it his. That's fine. He paid for it. Legally, it's mine but when I speak to him, I don't think about the legal side so then as far as I'm concerned, its his place. Does that clarify how I think and view the situation.

    When I married my ex he already had his own house but never was it a matter of it's his or mine. It was ours from a home point of view. It was only when w divorced that we really got into the issue of legal ownership.

    Did you attend the court when the charging order was granted, or reply to the court papers before the original judgement was entered?

    You need to decide what you want out of this. If you want your money back (money that it took you until post 17 to disclose you had spent) then tell your father.

    If you don't, cut your losses, give it back and move on.


    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This.
