May 4 2008 The Judge
I LEFT my partner of six years after I found out he was seeing someone else. We have a son together and though the house is in his name, I paid the deposit and half of everything. Do I have a claim against him?
YES, under the provisions of the Family Law Reform (Scotland) Act 2006, you can make a claim against your ex within one year of the date of separation. Your case is based on your economic disadvantage due to the money you have paid towards your home and its upkeep and the economic burden of caring for your child.
