i am splitting from my lt partner, who i no longer love. We cannot seem to come up with a mutual agreement re the house we jointly own (UK) both our names on the mortgage.
Unfortunately i have come to the point where i cannot live under the same roof as her anymore and need to leave, will this jeopardize my finances re the house (both names on the mortgage). I think we will have to sell it and split the profit. i just cannot live there anymore and this is dragging on and dragging on.

you can move out of a property and still claim half of the house if and when it's sold if she refuses to sell then she will have to buy you out of the morgage to be able to stay in the said property

If you don't have children its just a case of splitting the home and possessions. One of you can buy the other one out, or just sell up and split the money between you. Good idea to get a solicitor though and you may get legal aid so you won't have to pay until the house is sold.

If there are kids involved under sixteen who ever has custody can stay in the house ,even with a new partner and you will have to pay youre half of the mortgage. when the kids are older whoever is in the house will have to buy you out or sell and split.

If you have children under the age of 18 then you can not force her to sell until they are 18 she is legally entitled to stay in the property,
My friend is going through that right now

if u walk out i think it is has very poor implications. u r probably better off getting something sorted thru a solicitor asap.
a free consultation would be useful and if u don't like, get a second opinion.
my advice is to keep it sweet. u once loved each other. it is so sad that doesn't apply any more. but u can still love each other as friends or just as human beings.

You need legal advice - it is as simple as that. You could try Citizen's Advice (in local phone book) or National Family Mediation.
If you go to Parentlineplus (www. parentlineplus.org.uk), they have some tips on divorce and in the useful links section two organisations which offer mediation, and a link to family family friendly solicitors i.e. aim to help negotiate settlements.
Hope this helps

Get a legal agreement in place before you go anywhere, best to be safe. You need a solicitor

Sell the house and share the proceeds. She probably wants to buy out your share. Offer her first choice. Good luck.
