Hi,
I'm needing some help on a situation with my ex husband. We were divorced 5 years ago and at the time we owned our home and a third share of my family home (with my brother and sister owning the other two thirds). To keep from my family home from being dragged into our divorce and property settlement, I agreed to keeping my family home and signed over our house to him. There was an $80000 home loan on my family home in his name.
I was in no financial position to pay this out and never really thought I should have to but for the past 5 years I have made the loan payments to him to save drama. He earns more than twice what I earn and has a new fiancée and a very expensive house. I have been renting since we divorced and in January this year finally bought a house with a friend as she wanted to invest and knew I couldn't do it by myself.
My ex now wants all of the money paid back. I have discussed in the past how I can't do it. I sought legal advice a while back and was told as it is in his name I, don't actually have to pay him a cent and should be getting child support from him. I have our two children 4 nights a week. I pay for half of everything.
Can someone please help with some information?
Thank you.
