My partner wants to end our relationship and sell our house. (2/3 of the property is in her name at her request at the start of our co-habitation because she has 2 adult offspring and I one from former relationships. We have been living together for 7+years)
A letter has been served to me by her solicitor saying she seeks the sale of the property and proceeds to be divided 2/1 thirds in her favour. I am warned she may invoke this Act for an Order for the sale of our house and I would bear the court cost.
Because of the origional reason for the 2/1 split in ownership and that we have basicly been on equal income and shared household expenses, and in our late 50s, we talked about drawing up an agreement for a more equal share. I sujested we do this with a solicitor, but she refused on account of cost, saying it could be witnessed by anyone. This took place 7/10 days before I recieved the letter, which is timescaled.
What can I do to effect a more equal share of proceeds.
