Split with ex of 9 years in June, she left me 
we weren't right for each other, it wasnt mutal at the time but I agree now it was for the best.
Anyway cut a long story short cant shift the house so I said I would take it on but not pay her anything for her share, reason being is her share is worth 0 now due to housing crash, I said I would take house on to get it over and done with. She is 32, living back at home, has no money and big debts she is now asking me for some £5k-£10k, part of me feels I should help her out but then the other part of me thinks I dont owe her anything we werent married no kids.
Do you think I should give her a few k just to get it over and done with or stand firm and tell her no, my mum recons I should give her £5k.

For child contact cases do them yourself. For finance, unless exceptionally well advised (as I was) see a solicitor. Whatever it costs get a clean break arrangement : and make sure that if you die she cannot claim anything out of your estate (1975 matrimonial act).
And make sure you declare everything : dont give the other side any wriggle room.
