We had two investment properties to be sold, but at the time it would have not covered the mortgage as such so waited for market improvement.

Property 1.

Purchase inc fees $319,000
Sold inc fees are $283000
Loss = 34k
Principal paid on loan $79,000, property was positive geared

Property 2.

Purchase $277,000 inc fees
Sold $300,000 inc fees
Profit= 23k
paid for expenses over 7 years $57,000 and principal $44,000

property 1 was sold at a realised loss based on purchase price and sale price, but there was a payout or $70k from the principal that I only put into the property.
property 2. just recently settled in QLD and a profit was realised, so as can be read from the court order any profits or losses are to be split. Again, no contribution was made by my ex. The nquestion is , the remaining payout is friom the capital paid by me.

My ex Claimed negative gearing after divorce without contributing. I would like clarification on the following. Is she legally entitled to claim for costs associated with her that were not physically paid by her.

will my contributions be refunded first before any profit/loss calculation?
OR
will profit/loss be calculated on buy and sell then my funds after be returned to me.
OR/AND


What this means in basic terms please to my situation?
