Not quite. I can't afford our house on my own but she can if I accept a reduced share of the equity. The law here is very specific where a) no one party is allowed to profit from the D and b) the equity (in the case of a buy out) is the net value of the property and NOT what you think it will sell for. She was hoping I would accept the current 'selling' average for properties of our type in our area. Problem is that I work in that field and have access to incredible amounts of data so I completely disagree that I should take a reduced cut for both those reasons. However not so long ago I would have done just that.


Although, English Law, I am watching this closely as I want to buy my H out of the house. I do not want OW to be in the house we have painstakingly remodelled for the last 15 years.
