My Ex-Partner

I was asked to leave our family home by my ex-partner on 5thMarch 2011 following financial issues. My ex-partner decided after speaking with her friends that she would be better off asking me to leave and apply for benefits which she duly did. My ex-partner then started a hate campaign against me nearly getting me sacked from one position by making unfounded accusations and allegations about me which required me to undergo a Criminal Records Bureau check and a credit check to ensure that the allegations had no truth. I was happy to undergo the checks and nothing adverse was revealed. I then moved on to another job and because I would not increase the level of CSA benefit I was paying her she duly contacted my new employer with similar allegations and accusations as she had made to my previous employer. Again I underwent criminal and credit checks which again revealed nothing adverse. However, my employer was troubled by the fact that my ex-partner might contact some of their Clients and they did not wish to have any unwelcome publicity so I was asked to leave the company. During this time I had been continually harassed by my ex-partner and her parents whilst at work and at home which led me to apply for a Police PIN to be served on my ex-partner and her parents which stopped most of the harassment. I was able to have very little contact with my son and had to apply for a Contact Order as I have parental responsibility finally getting contact with my son on 12th July 2012. However, I now find that my ex-partner has a new partner and I have asked whether he is of good character but my ex-partner refuses to name her new partner or allow me to meet him although he is now very much a part of my son's life now as I only see him on alternate weekends at the moment. My question is have I the right to have some basic information about my ex-partner's new partner and secondly as my ex-partner is seeling the home am I entitled to claim some of the sale proceeds as although the title deeds and the mortgage were in my ex-partners sole name I can prove that I paid the mortgage and have contributed to the improvement to the property both internally and externally. My ex-partner paid the deposit of £20,000 from the sale of her flat to purchase the property and she took out a mortgage of £135,500. I have paid the mortgage payments from the date we moved in at roughly a £1,000 a month from June 2002 to 1st March 2011.
