Legal Question in Family Law in United Kingdom
Financial separation
I lived with my X for about 6 years, we then got married. After 3 months of marriage we separated and she moved out. We have now just completed the divorced on mutual grounds of 2 years separation. She is now living with someone else in his house.I originally purchased the house and is in my name only. Neither of us has any savings, so the only real consideration is the equity on the house. Given the details above what percentage of the house equity would be the likely outcome if this was left up to a court to decide? I appreciate there is probably many more details you need to give me an accurate answer to this but an rouge idea would be much appreciated, to help us make a fair decision.
Regards
Martin

Re: Financial separation
There can be a strong argument here that after such a short marriage your former wife has no claim on your property. There are many factors for consideration however not least the intention as to ownership of the property during the cohabitation period.
