Civil Partnership Rites

[JBW1366]

I need some help with regard to civil partnership rites etc

My partner and I have recently split up, though we are still living together in a joint mortgaged property, but this will have to be sold, does the split of profit (if any) be 50/50? I work full time and she does not.

Also I have come into some money from the sale of my mothers flat, is my ex entitled to 50% of this also?

Thanks for any help

Were you in an official formal "same sex" (female/female) civil partnership?

If not it was not a "civil partnershiop".

Or were you just a couple (same sex or not) living together?

.
honestly I think you both need to go to a solicitor.
this will prevent one party going back for seconds
later on on the grounds of non disclosure or whatever

My answer is based VHG on a same sex couple and I believe PP is correct.
JBW, you do not mention a dissolution order and if you wish to arrange this your civil partnership (cp) will have had to have lasted at least one year and you will have to show that the cp has irretrievably broken down and you have been separated for at least two years if you both agree or 5 years if you do not both agree.
You will both have the right to live in the home and if the mortgage is in your joint names you are both jointly and severally liable for the entire payments, not 50%, I have assumed no children are involved. I would suggest you try to agree with your ex cp how the finances are split up, preferably in an amicable fashion, if you are unable to agree an assessment process will take place and you may be in the hands of the court. You should see a solicitor as soon as is possible with the full information that you have available.
