Me, male 45 bought a Dublin house in 2011 Euro300k and lived there together until mid-2018 when I moved out. She returned to her home country mid-2019 and is selling now, I have just discovered. Estimated selling price Euro500k.
- Should I seek to block the sale until the above separation agreement & divvy of proceeds is agreed?
IANAL but I suspect it would be difficult to block the sale.
Separate item.She might then agree something with you e.g. In exchange for you giving up your claim on the house, she will not require any maintenance for the children.
All parents are legally obliged to support their children. It's the child's maintenance; not the primary carer's.
Yes but these two issues will both inevitably be on the table as part of any potential agreement.
Child maintenance is not an item 'on the table' for negotiation. Every parent is legally obliged to support their child, the amount of maintenance paid to the primary carer is based on both parents income and expenditure.
indeed, but one is not traded off against the other.they are probably most sensibly sorted out in tandem,
One is a definite (child maintenance) and the legal basis cannot be challenged.Based on the facts the OP has a legal right to a share of the house sale proceeds no less than he has a legal obligation to support his children.
