When I was divorced 20 years ago my ex-wife was allowed to stay on in the house as long as she paid the mortgage instalments. I reached 65 recently and assumed the mortgage would have been paid off by now, but I discover that she has only been paying the interest. Are they allowed to continue this arrangement?
You will have to dig out the original court order to find out what was intended. I take it you have a stake in the equity in the property, in which case you will probably receive your share either when your wife dies or she sells the house. Your ex-wife wouldn’t necessarily have been expected to increase your share by paying off the mortgage. But it’s difficult to advise without seeing the terms of the original court order.
