If you own your property jointly with your partner, if the correct procedure was followed when the property was purchased, the shares in which you own the property should be clear. Otherwise, it will be presumed that you own the property in equal shares unless one party can prove otherwise. This is a complex area of the law, and there are a number of issues to consider such as the financial contributions you have each made, how you conducted your finances and why the house was purchased. We can advise you on the prospects of success of achieving a share in excess of 50% and how best to go about this.
