G, For better or worse, this country doesn't have 'fault' laws, but the courts would say that the interests of the child come first and therefore as her main carer I would deserve 60-65% of the assets. Not more. So I would need WH to agree out of court to give me the flat outright. I wouldn't even contemplate such a request if there wasn't a newborn involved. If he says no, we will have to see as I cannot buy him out (and can barely cover the mortgage, anyway). The housing market here is one of the most expensive in the world (when earning capacity is taken into consideration) and I'd have real trouble getting back into it.
I think when he says he wants me out of his life, he means he wants to be friends (that would be the ultimate), but have me at a safe enough distance (emotionally and physically) so that I never get the impression I might 'get him back' again.
