Can I leave my partner without losing half the house we're building?

Hey lads, bit of a weird situation. I'm building a housse with my missus – the one I want to be my ex-missus. I put down the deposit from my own money and paid for everything except the prestart variations, which she paid – roughly 40k. I want to leave her. We're both on the mortgage. How fucked am I if I leave her? Will she take half, or can I try to pay her the 60k for the prestart variations? She won't take the breakup easy, but I'm not happy with her and haven't been for a while. Do I see a lawyer? Not married, no kids. The house is due to be finished in September.
 
She put money in. So half is hers. That's my belief.

But like you said see a lawyer. That’s for a judge or mediator. Because one person’s story? Different from yours.
 
I know someone who went through this a mate of mine. They kept it amicable, sold the house when it was all over, and went 50/50. I'd guess you could buy her out, but if she's not going to take it well, I honestly doubt she'll agree to a fair deal. And if you walk away with half, I think that's just part and parcel of property and relationships.
 
Don’t be worried about just the house mate… I got taken for 46.8% in 3 years no kids, not married my super, boats, cars, houses everything was in the assets pool, every cent.

I would be nice and sit down have a conversation about how it’s not working and your happy to give back every cent she’s put in the house… and pray she’s happy to take that and walk about.

If you go to her with lawyers, you’ll poke rhe bear.

If she starts carrying on then lawyer up.
