The solicitors both, his and mine explained that because i'd had to find somewhere to live during to the seperation (i rented) and that had obviously cost me the same money as it would have cost had i paid half the mortage then i was entiltled to half the proceeds.
This is probably not what to want to hear, but every one asks the same question..it might be different as you've been split for such a long time, you'd best see a solicitor...could you not offer him an amount to get him off your mortgage???
