I've been with my partner for 2 and a half years and we've lived together for 18months. When I met him he had two houses, one of which his ex was renting from him. He was in alot of debt and both of his houses were about to be repossesed so I helped him out and paid most of his debt and saved both houses.
His ex has given him nothing but grief since i've known him and she also put their 2 children at risk by living with a very violent man.
She has now moved out of my partners house and we have sold it at a big loss because she left it in such a mess. He wants to give the children £10,000 each for their future but she says they should get £5000 each and she is demanding £28,000 for herself?
This woman has never worked in her life and lives off the state.. The rent didn't cover the mortgage and my partner had to top that up by £130pm. That's aswell as £250pm maintenance. She also wants more maintenance?! They were never married.
What do you think?

Between us we have three houses. We planned to get married, sell all the houses and with the combined equity, buy a bigger house.
I have already told him that there will be no marriage if he pays her off for two reasons.
1. He owes me alot of money
2. We had both agreed that the money from all houses was for our future and he wouldn't be keeping his part of the bargain.
Rest assured, I am no soft touch and I will not be left out of pocket!
If he thinks that I will be putting up most of the money for a bigger house, he's very much mistaken and we will end up going our separate ways!

Well, a lawyer here is necessary for sure. Go to your local CAB if you cannot afford one privately.
As for an ex who claims money, I believe she can only do so for her kids, as she was never the owner of the property. Get professional advice on this though. And be DAMNED sure you don't get frigged by your partner when he leaves you to live with another woman.

Follow the legal route, hope you kept the documents of the payments you made for the houses. Fight for what is yours as long as that man stand by you but if he has divided mind be carefulhu
