He recons I’m not entitled to anything

Zainmads4

Myself and partner are splitting up after 3 decades together. He received a bit of money due to an accident so we bought our 3rd house together. The house was paid for out right. All the other bills split down the middle. I work full time he doesn’t work. Because he likes to spend money (nothing else to do) we’ve had to take out a mortgage. Then his spending went through the roof again so we had to take out another mortgage. So there’s 2 mortgage on the property. But now he’s saying I’m not entitled to any of the profits when we sell the house. The house is in both names. I pay half of everything, even his credit cards which there’s roughly £30k on. The relationship is toxic. We can’t speak to each other. I can’t afford a solicitor so that’s out of the question. I just need to know if what he’s saying is right. Thanks

You say 'partner'. are you married?

He also had an affair. Which is still ongoing. Don’t know how long it’s been going on for I think close to 8months. 

Zainmads4

no never saw the point. Because we were committed to each other. But obviously not that committed

Stop paying his credit cards for a start. And get a solicitor. You say you can't afford that, but you can't afford not to. Borrow the money from a relative or friend if you have to.

There are children involved. Late teens.

That doesn't matter in relation to who gets what. 
How old are the children? 
Is the property owned as tenants in common?
Is the mortgage just in your name (if you are the only one working)?

Are the credit cards in his name or yours and he's run up the debt?

Some solicitors offer a free half hour where you can ask questions.

It’s joint ownership. In both names. 19&16. He stay away from here 5 nights a week.

Cards are in his name. Haven’t been able to find a solicitor that does the free hour yet.
