hey there everyone?

just wondering if anyone knows any family lawyers? or has used one that is good?

I broke up with my ex a while ago now and now we are in the middle of discussions on if he is going to sell the house or buy me out. and its getting stupid and nasty and i really dont want to be screwed out of anything

Keep it simple! Keep lawyers out of it!!!

Whoever bought the house. Keeps the house!

If you bought it together. Sell and split the profits evenly!

my advice...go into any lawyer and get them to do you up some sort of scare letter. it may cost you a couple of hundred dollars but i am sure you will get results pretty quick. what you want to do is something like this.

contact your ex and tell him he has a certain amount of time to come to an agreement that both of you are happy with. whether thats him buying you out or selling or whatever. the house doesnt have to be sold in that time. but get some sort of agreement signed by him that states he will pay you half of what the house is worth at the time.

if he fails to agree to this. then go into a lawyer and get then to do up a letter. have the letter say that on top of the money you are owed for what the house is worth (your half). you will be claiming rent from him backdated to the day you moved out. you will also be claiming for rent that you had to pay at your new premises coz you were unable to purchase your own place due to you not getting your half of what the house is worth. also make sure they mention that he will also be hit up for the court fees and lawyer costs.

did you purchase the house together?? are you on the house title?? if you are saying no to both or either 1. you may be up for a long battle. but if you are on the title, whether you put any money in or not, then you are well and trully entitled to you half of what the house is worth.

i suggest for now tho that you get him to meet a time frame say a week. if he doesnt, then send the letter from a lawyer. i'm 100% sure once he receives the letter that he'll contact you. you should have this sorted out pretty quick.

Ndfourspd, thanks hey, thats some good advice. how do you know so much about it?
we brought the house together and yep i am on the titles to. he is trying to tell me we need to get some evaluations done thn we take what is owed off of it and then i get half of that. as far as i knew i was entitled to half of what the house is worth. All i am asking for is half the house and the car( the car is in my name anyway and is mine) he can keep everything else, the motorbikes, the furniture the dog everything.

hmmmm...

if you can keep it away from the lawyers you can do it yourself. go to family law courts and fill out a form 11, can even download it from their web site. If you both agree on everything, that makes it legally binding.

you may be entitled to half the house, but also half the debt. From what you are saying it sounds about right. Eg, if house is worth $300000 and you owe $150000 then the remainder is split so you would end up with $75000 each.

you have to give reasonable notice. reasonable notice is normally defined by law as 14days.
