Hi all.
My ex partner broke up with me about 6 months ago.
We bought a house together 2 years ago.
Using made up figures the mortgage is in joint names as is the property and it is say €1000 per month.
Rent in our area is say €500 pm.
I earn less than he does so wasn't in a position to pay the mortgage alone. He was. So I moved out.
We were going to keep the house and sell at a later stage. We agreed he would pay the mortgage in full and we would sign a legal agreement stating my financial interest in the house wouldn't be affected if I wasn't contributing.
We never got around to drawin that up and instead put the house on the market.
Things have soured considerably since then, though they are still civil.
I contacted him today requesting items from the house one of which he didn't want me to have as he uses it but I paid for it a couple of weeks before we broke up.
I took nothing from the house in terms of furniture, appliances etc.
He then began going on about how hard done by he is feeling having to pay "my mortgage". I pointed out he made the decison that I should move out.
He then said we need to go to the solicitor again as "things can't continue the way they are". I pointed out that if he doesn't want to pay the whole mortgage then really the only option is for me to move back in as I cannot afford rent + my portion of the mortgage (mortgage - possible rental income / 2). Works out at about 300 pm. I pay rent, creche for my daughter (not his bio daughter but he still has access as agreed between us but doesn't contribute financially).
He says he doesn't want me to move back in (I don't want to move back in either). he thinks if I move back in then he can move out and leave me paying the full mortgage. Pointed out he can't do that either.
I am going to my solicitor this evening to discuss options. In the meantime has anyone any other alternatives? Or does anyone want to buy a house??
