me and my partner bought our first home 2 years ago, when we applied for the mortgage i had such a bad credit rating that it could only be in his name. However, 2 yrs down the line and we want to split up, thing is do i have a leg to stand on regarding the house as i wannt him 2 move out and he wants to stay, he says he will give me £4000 (sort of a buy out) if i move out along with our 2 kids, thing is there is no way iam gonna move out as its my home and makes more sense if he moves as iam having the children with me. We have suggested i pay 2 have my name on the mortgage at a cost of solicitors fees and sell the house in 2008 when we have no buy out fee( £6000) then the money can be split fairly. Thing is not sure if he will keep his word as he dosent wanna sell and is not happy about me getting my name on it. Do i have a leg to stand on if he decided not to do it??

You need to see a solicitor or go to citzens advice..make sure you do this by the book as it sounds like this could get messy...you have a right to stay in the home untill the kids are 18 and also look in to getting legal aid for solicitors fees ect ...there is no easy way out dont be bribed in to leaving as you will lose everything.....half the house is yours .......

see a solicitor.. My ex took me for £40k.. I have 2 house's and bought them on my own.. she made some stupid claim that she had been a silent partner in both house's... If you have kids with him they will be clause's on your behalf..

Yep you do! Co-habiting couples have as much right as married ones. Contact citizens advice

take it and leave him, you can't make him leave because he owns the house.
