Hello all,
Hypothetical question, but it’s just something I would like to know in case things get sour in the future….
My wife and me married a few years ago, got a joint mortgage together and have 2 children.
My wife put half the deposit towards the house (about 2K)
I’ve read about these Mesher orders? Which I believe allows you to stay in a property until the children are 18 and then you sell and split the proceeds.
My wife can’t afford to run the house on her own, so basically, if I was to leave the house, then I surely wouldn’t be able to made to pay more than half the mortgage amount (she still couldn’t afford it)
If she left, would I have to buy her out (1/2 the deposit she paid plus half the increase in the house value)
I can find lots on the internet about these Mesher orders, but not who pays for the the upkeep of the house for the person moving out whilst they wait 18 odd years to sell?
Hope there’s enough information here to answer.
