Hi all,
I have a joint mortgage with my ex and we have been separated for over 3 months now. I have just lost my job and now want to head interstate to be with my dying mother. My question is, what do I need to do to make sure I am entitled to my share of the house in property settlement once I have moved out?
At the moment, I am paying for everything but that will soon have to stop and she will have to either re-finance into her name or sell up and split the equity. The main problem is that she doesn't communicate or make any moves so I don't know where I stand on things.
I know she will fight to get as much as she can of the property but I am sure after every loan payment coming out of my account since we first got the mortgage that I will be entitled to hopefully half as we don't have kids and we both have our own stuff.
Any ideas?
I need to be gone by mid-February and don't want to have to come back to fight it out in court.
Cheers
