Buying out your expartner's share of the house.

I separated from my husband Feb 2005 after I found out he had been having a long affair. I wish to buy his share of the house as he wants his share of the equity, and understand that he is entiled to 50% of the capital. I have two children still at home who are in full time education. It has been suggested that I should get an extra 5% per child, thus making the split 60-40. Is this fact or fiction - I need to know. Many thanks.

I thought he could not force the sale of the house if you have children at home, so this would seem to put you in a good bargaining position if you want to buy. If it's true.

Maybe consult a solicitor. (but these good people will help clarify your mind first)

It is true, he wants the money to start again. He is still with the woman he had the affair with and plans to move in with her.
