Hi Tiberium
I don't think that there is a straight answer.
The house will be just one part of the divorce proceedings. Presumably you will look at other assets as well.
Yes, you paid the mortgage in full, but you also had full use of the house. She presumably had to pay rent for her new place.
So you can argue your case that you overpaid the capital and so should get that back, but she might not see it that way.

I respectfully disagree on some of your points.
We are not really disagreeing.
I agree that the overpayments should be taken from the equity. But she may not see it that way and it will be difficult for you to get clean ownership of the house without her agreement.
I could argue the case well for either side.

Do your sums first, no point in winning your case & then finding you're only paying it out in legal fees.I don't care how much it will cost
This is the correct advice. It doesn't matter what you think is fair, or what you paid actually. When it goes before a judge it is only then you'll know what you're actually entitled to.I don't think that there is a straight answer.

Good advice.But to help your case it would be best if you could just put everything on one A4 sheet of paper.
That very much depends on the lawyer. Just as in every job and every walk of life there are good and bad ones, there are ones that suit some people but don't suit you etc.And good luck with your legal people actually figuring out who should get what. In fact avoiding lawyers altogether as you'll just drag it out with legal bills rising for both of you
