What % of your house went to your ex-wife?

[Lois]

To all you divorced men out there, when you got divorced, what percentage of the house did your ex get? I know it's not all as simple as that as there's children and other assets to consider, just after a rough idea (and no it's not for me!)

sign it over to the folks before the st hits the fan

What about the women who were fked over by their ex husbands eh?

Taking kids out of the equation In the modern age isn't it simply the partner who earns the most who loses the most? Or the person who wants out most. Regardless of gender.

My ex bought my % of the family home.

He had stuck in approximately 1/3 deposit when we first moved in, so he got that back, and then what was left after the old mortgage was paid off, we split 50/50.

We'll have none of that sensible behaviour in here, thank you very much

Opps sorry... I forgot

Okay, scrub what I wrote, I took the bd for everything

My mum bought my dad out. But to make things "easier for the kids" she seemed to accept his valuation and ignore that fact that she owned about 65-70% of the house anyway. As it is she would have been far far better getting a lawyer involved and an estate agent to bring her back down to reality instead of accepting a 50/50 split based on an optimistic valuation at best. Deal was already done before I knew all the details, and there aint nowt you can do now because it was all agreed and signed.

Silly woman.

Or potentially very clever.

It's not unknown for divorces to go into 6 figures on legal fees alone.

She insisted on going to court and spending thousands to get 80%, thankfully the judge was more reasonable.

Maybe, but she recognises that she should have at least got an independent valuation by an expert rather than just agreeing a figure with her ex husband. He wanted a high figure, she wanted a high figure in some strange belief/hope that the house was worth a lot of money. Anyway, 6 figure sums would have bankrupt them both . There isnt that much to argue over in the first place!

[Plotloss]

In that case she's definitely clever.

The more arguing, the more gets spunked on lawyers.

They don't charge less for cheaper assets...

I signed the house over in total so to get a "clean break", she's also not getting any of my pension and I've not displaced my son - the divorce cost me £700 in legal fees and it's all settled and we've no legal ties to each other apart from our son.

The lost equity was about £60k (£30k each) which would only have been achieved if the house was sold which, to be honest, may never happen given her earning potential.

It's saved us both a ton of hassle and I'm now actually happy with Mrs JTW

Unless you click the skip voting link on the right hand side.

With attention to detail like that mind you...
