Dispute over House sale proceeds
Discussion
OK, long and boring.
Ex-partner and I bought a house, not married, TR1 signed as joint tenants and normal thing happened we split. Still not married, no kids so I thought nice and simple.
Sold the house and she has put funds in dispute as she disagrees with the division of funds. She is not agreeing to 50/50, yes it is this simple.
Question is, am I able to force the issue to resolution or is she able to sit there and do nothing waiting for hell to freeze over? Any time lines around this?
No hating needed, this is the question, sale occurred June and no movement since.

Yes and reality does not come into it, hence I think it's either court or wait for hell to freeze over
It will cost you both (assuming both in employment etc) Only winners will be the relevant legal people.I'd still attempt to discuss it with her before she leaps down the legal route.
Unless she's got a case of the mental - in which case good luck and perhaps bump the thread when hell has frozen over

What reason does she give for not splitting 50/50?If nothing more than she really thinks you shouldn't get your money back, then I'd suggest writing to her and noting that you each put into the house and you share the benefits. I'd advise her that if you have to that you will ask a court to rule in the matter, but that will cost you both a lot of money ( I would not say you will seek your costs from her as that will simply inflame matters).
Therefore, you suggest that the easiest and cheapest approach for both parties is to agree to split the funds 50/50 and you can then go your separate ways and never have to see or speak to each other again, giving closure...

Yes, 'cause I'm sure we've got the full facts and men never act like tts do they?.
Quite possibly, but it does seem to me that it is engrained in the female mentality that when a relationship breaks down they are entitled to the significant majority of the joint assets.PurpleMoonlight said:

I know for a fact if we split up I should not expect 50/50 as we signed up for because I haven't provided 50%.
Generally in these cases, men assume "I pay the bills therefore I own everything" which is amusing simplistic and dangerously naive.

You are a man.If the position were reversed I wonder if she would have the same opinion.
