Is my ex entitled to my house

[ollywilli]

My ex walked out on me over a year ago and claims domestic violence, which is unture.

My ex keeps making remarks that she is entitled to living in the house or have a proportion of it, and that our son is entitled to live in the house until he is 18.

She was not on the mortgage and did not pay anyhthing towards it, I paid it all, she did not pay any bills, or contribute in any way to the house appart from the odd bit of shopping, although she tries to claim she has paid something.
we were together for just over 2 year, and not married.
we have been through the court system for contact with our son, and the house was not brough up at the time.
she is now struggleing with rent of her own house and is wanting me to help her out but I do not have the money as she left me in alot of debt, and cannot get a council house until she has explored the avenue of seeing if the is entitled to my house.

I bought the house for 148500, not worth 125000, and I am also in negative equity.

so my question is, is she entitled to my house?
and is my son entitles to my house ot live in it?

[ummmm]

Maybe not but the CSA might understand why his payments are lower than they should be.

You've been mugged mate.....fancy a date?

[ollywilli]

yes I have, very much so

[ummmm]

Do you mind me asking how old you are?

[ollywilli]

I am 27 and she is 20

[ummmm]

I bet you won't make the same mistake again..!! All I can say is live and learn.

She sounds like a gold digger. Your house is safe though.

All the good people on here have given you good advice, she is not entitled to any of your house.So do not be co-erced into thinkng that you owe her. You will need to support your son and would advise that you go to your Citizens Advice bureau and talk to them .The fact that she cannot pay her rent is not your problem , let her sort it out.Do not be tempted to make her any future loans , if your son needs anything , take him with you and buy it, do not just hand over cash willy nilly.Keep a record in a notebook of all of youir financial transactions with her and get her to sign for the maintenance which she does at the mo.Do not fall for any sob stories and do not allow your self to be blackmailed over your son.Your duty is to him , not her and don't get taken in by her account of the mess she says she is in.The very best of luck Brenda.
