Overseas property payments

STRaction123

Hi,
My ex partner and I bought a property together in Spain approx 10 years ago, we are both on the title deeds as owners 50/50 split.
We separated 8 years ago and settled all our uk assets amicably, the only thing outstanding was the property in Spain.
For the first 6 years after we separated, the costs for the Spain property were split 50/50. I made monthly payments for child support and her 50% cost for Spain was deducted from this, I then paid all the bills and Mortgage in Spain.
For the last 2 years I have not paid child support as by children are over 18 and I now pay money directly to them therefore I could not deduct her 50% of the costs.
For the first 6 months of the 2 year period she paid the money to me and I settled all the bills in Spain.
One of my children who is over 18 decided they wanted to live with me now and then she has refused any contact with me, telephone, texts, emails all go unanswered and she refuses to talk with me if I turn up in person. For the last 18 months, since my son has lived with me she has made no payments for the Spain property, I have paid all the bills and mortgage for this period.
I have discussed with her new partner, he tells me she agrees to sell the property which I will now take steps to do, we spilt any equity or costs 50/50.
Can I take her to the small claims court for these missed payments, £4,500 over the 18 months period?
My worry is also she will refuse to proceed with the sale, not sign the necessary paperwork etc as making life difficult seems to be her main aim.
I could offset the money owed from the equity once the property is sold, but my worry is it may not sell or not be enough equity to cover her costs depending on how long it takes to sell.
Any advice welcome

To be honest I would just suck it up and treat it as the cost of finally breaking all financial ties to each other, otherwise it will just drag on and costs escalate.
