My partner left the family home 2 years ago. We share 50/50 custody of children since our separation, of our two children. We both moved out of the family home and it has been sitting empty. I have been paying solely for the mortgage on the property for two years. I have also paid all rates and bill associated with the house. I have all the receipts. She refused to help pay as she said she could not afford it. I was threatened that she would take my kids if I pushed the issue. I have finally got around to fixing up the house and getting ready to sell it. I have seen real estate agents and had it valued. I have asked her to pay the real estate costs as I cannot afford to as well as everything else. She says no way that we split the real estate fees and she wants half of the money we get when the house sells. She has again used threats.
What are my options in this situation? I just want the house sold and it all over with. But cannot afford to keep paying for everything. She says she left so it is not her problem and I should have stayed in the house. I did not want to do this for personal reasons.
