    Default Division of Home Equity After Separation if Only One Spouse is Making Payments

    Hi my ex left 18 months ago we have a joint mortgage and a daughter. He hasn't contributed to mortgage since he left. I've been told his still entitled to half equity and doesn't need to pay me back half of what he hasn't paid is this correct?

    Its neither correct nor incorrect. It could go either way.

    You should have long ago filed for divorce. Do it now or you'll forever be giving him a gift of half the equity in your home with nothing in return.

    Bet he's not paying child support either.
