Re: Good Advice
Thanks Widget, a useful find there. I think it reasonably recent as it refers to recent changes allowing courts to take into account the rights of gay co-habitees.
Basically it confirms that if you can demonstrate you made a financial contribution towards the mortgage, you are treated as a joint owner and can apply to the courts for the property to be sold. It also says that in cases where there are no children involved (like this), it is very rare for the other partner's objection to be taken into account.
Thing is, he's stalling for time (I've been a bit busy at work recently, etc) and she's still clinging to the hope he'll change his mind and take her back. Legal action, although satisfying and with devestating results to him, is very unlikely to happen. Think I'll take the paper Widget found, highlight the relevant nasty sections, and send it to him with an invoice for £20k to be paid within 30 days.Comment

Re: Good Advice
That's pretty much it, Spod. The difference if you are married (as the paper notes) is that the courts can adjust your property rights giving you proportionately more or less of the jointly owned property as necessary for you to make a clean break. For co-habitees, the courts investigate and make a declaration of your rights, in line with your direct financial contribution only (i.e. if you contribute nowt, cash wise, you get nowt).Comment

Re: Good Advice
Spod's right, as I discovered to my great relief a few years back (Wage in 'that will teach the fecking ex' mode).There is no such thing as a common law wife or husband in status or name. Talk to a solicitor, they'll tell you the same thing!
I think that describes 99% of IT contractors. Certainly describes meI think he might in fact be DCJ, as he is socially inept, greasy and pasty, and had never had a girlfriend before (at the age of 32).
Just say the word, LuciferMore and more the getting the Russian gangster to rub him out approach seems best.

Re: Good Advice
You want to be careful with those, Slave. A lot of those 70s bongo mags had 16 and 17 year old girlies in them - perfectly legal then but a shortcut to a few years on the sex offenders' register these days. I read somewhere that after some bill banning under 18 "adult art" was passed last year, a lot of the publishers decided the only safe course was to destroy their archives and the negatives (including, as I recall, Sam Fox's early page three stuff).Comment
