It appears that you’re not married, and you’re going to move into a home that he’s buying. Unless he puts your name on the title to the house, it belongs to him whether or not you split up or stay together. Overall, it sounds like there are two problems here:
1. He doesn’t want to marry you. 😳 So, you might want to reconsider moving in with him until you’re married. 😉 It’s easy to be romantic — but the reality is that you have a child to support and that’s not romantic. But it is part of being parents, and families who make things work have to deal with this business side of relationships as well as romance.
2. You don’t have a child support order and you and your ex-husband are legally divorced. So, if he’s making $130,000 a year, and you’re making $20,000 a year, he should be paying you child support — unless, of course, you’re married. A family court can help you determine how much support you should be getting and how to get it with a court order.
Decide what you want to do about these two problems because he’s right — that if you’re not married, he doesn’t owe you half of anything, but since you’re not married, he does owe you child support.
