Myself and my ex partner were together for 13 years, 2 young kids.
I purchased the home myself 7 years ago, my name on the mortgage, I solely paid the mortgage, the deposit and everything else was also in my name.
We are not married.
We are having quite a difficult separation and my ex partner now has a council house to live in, I am still in the original house.
We've been separated about 3 months, she is now making threats about forcing me to sell the house and give her half the value.
From what I can gather online and a brief conversation with a solicitor I don't believe she can do this and I am not obligated to do so.
After working everything out it doesn't add up well if I am forced to sell and I am admittedly worried about the situation, has anyone been in a similar one?
Let me know if any additional info is needed.
Thanks
