Family home after Divorce

[Jambo74]

I was told to move out of the family home last September, I now rent a property in the simlar area. 2 children are 6 and 13 and I see them twice a week. I by my choice pay £350 a month child support and have given my ex £30000. The family house has a mortgage and I have paid half the mortgage for 11 years. The equity is about £66000 And I offerd to sign the house over to her and not claim any equity.  To be blunt looking back I believe I have been to generous and so does my Solictor.  The offer i made the ex is not draw up in a legal document. Any advice?

Hi there, personal question but why did you give your ex £30k?

Hi. I have some inheritance and thought it fair to share it.

Certainly if there had been a financial settlement any inheritance money would have gone into the pot.

Your solicitor should be able to advise you on this matter
