Hey guys
So basically my ex girl and I seperated about 14 months ago after 5 years living together.
It was a mutual sort of thing we decided we wernt getting along and because the house we were living in was my house. (She still owns part of a house with her ex before me). She decided to go rent a place of her own.
We settled things financially i let her have the furniture and appliances, as well as a business and 2 cars and some money to pay the bond at the rental to get her started.
She has a teenage daughter from a previous relationship.
And we have a young boy together.
Everything in terms of who pays for what is sorted. And i regularly have my boy weekly. We get along ok and help each other out to make the best of it for the kids sake.
One problem that she is facing is finding a long term settled home for herself and the kids. She has already had to move twice in 14months with leases ending and not being renewed ect. Its been incredibly unsettling for the children.
I want to be able to help i have a decent size property where im considering building a out building for me to live in while i rent/board the house out to her so that long term the kids are settled and able to thrive. She has recently started a nightshift job also and sometimes the kids are home alone for a few hours so theres that safety issue that would be eliminated living all on the same property.
Is there potential problems that could arrise in future if i allow her to move back in and rent part of the house? Ie could she make claims because in the past we were a couple? I dont think she would but from a legal point of view where do i stand and or what can i do?
