So what would you do?

[EddieM]

If he doesn't need the money, just get a charge on the property as a % of current value. Nice little investment then

there is a charge on the property, in what way is that a nice earner? its fixed. and it was my money originally anyway.

 

[EddieM]

so I have 15% Of assets of new property do I enforce next year or forget it.
Standard practise in UK?......Not in the UK I live in.

Then you are totally wrong.

 

[EFLImpudence]

If it's a percentage and the value increases it will be worth more.


If I understand correctly and your ex has moved, why did you not get 15% of the sale of the original house.

 

[DaveHerns]

Yes, if you'd put a charge on the house, she wouldn't have been able to sell it without paying you.

Well it's all a bit cryptic which makes it rather hard to guess.

If the OP owned his house and the divorce settlement said he keeps 15% of the pot, something must have happened that allowed her to sell up without repaying. Tenants in common would have protected his 15%.
