Wife sold house

[teenwolf]

Hi my wife sold the house we got married in 2005 she sold the house in 2021. We separated 2018. My name was not on the deeds due to my credit rating at the time. Is this legal ?

No soz


Bus shelters are lovely, summer's coming.

Legal, yes, your name wasnt on it its hers she can do as she pleases

Financially, I assume you agreed to a settlement when getting divorced, was there any agreement on the house? if not enjoy the great outdoors

What does the divorce say?

If your name's not on the deeds, then that makes it her house, to do with as she pleases. That said, are you still married? What exactly does 'separated' mean?

 

[teenwolf]

Still married

This tbh. It's the only thing that matters

Depends on the legality of "separated" - is that legally separated, divorced or still married but just no longer with each other etc.

Taken 2 years for you to find out?

New rules females get 100% of everything. Soz.

Not entitled to anything then. You not on the deeds.

EDIT: You may be entitled since you still married..
Go get a solicitor/lawer.

Consult a solicitor. It's possible the house would be considered a marital asset in which case you may be entitled to half the profit from the sale.

A lot will hang on whether she bought the house before you married - in which case, if you've not contributed financially to it it would likely be considered a pre-marital asset and hers to do with as she pleases.

However, I am not a lawyer and could be wrong.

Did you have a "clean break order" during the divorce proceeding
If yes, suck it up
If no, ggwp - go crazy

 

[nightwish]

Still married

In that case, I'm not exactly sure what the next steps would be. In a divorce the assets would be split - you might get a share of the proceeds of the house sale even if your name wasn't on the deeds. BBut no idea what could/would/should happen if you're still married. You'd best get legal representation TBH.

Read the thread people - the OP is still married.

Sounds like you have an interest in the property if not divorced. I would see a solicitor.

Wife Sold House is not a valid what3words location btw

True, have you seen the new scales symbol for the UK divorce courts?

That was posted after the OP's initial post.

If still married - then you need to seek legal advice - If you made contributions to the upkeep/bills etc of the property whilst you were married/living there - then you have some potential rights to proceeds from the sale.

But it will cost you a lot in legal arguments to get anywhere.

 

[CapitalOne]

You may as well bundle it up with divorce proceedings if that's the way things are going.

It may be the end of all hope then. I suppose he should say "bye bye, beautiful" to her dark chest of wonders.

See a solicitor /thread

Aside, did you contribute to the mortgage, bills, etc. and have you got evidence of that?
