My mate has been talking about splitting with his girl friend of 2.5yrs for a while now as he's extremely unhappy but the one thing that's stopping him is the house.

He started buying this house before he met her and he's worried that if they split she'll get half of it!

I know there is some laws about this but surely she's not entitled to the half!

They have a few loans out as a couple and have a joint account for 8 months which the mortgage has been coming out of for the last 8 months, he seems to think that he's screwed.

Any advice would be helpful
