My wife wants me out of the house which she pays the mortgage on. We have one child aged 12.
She owns 3 other properties two of which is co-owned with her sister. My wife also wants a divorce.
What rights do i have? Can I ask the courts to have one of the other properties as part of the settlement and in lieu of CSA payments 😡
please help!
Hi thanks for posting.. You need professional advice, I would see a solicitor ASAP, you are married and you have rights. You can get a free session with a solicitor.
Did your wife buy any properties after you were married? are you going to share access to your child ?
my wife purchased 3 properties when were not married I think would need to find out. does this make a difference if you are married or not?
Also in terms of child support will I have to pay as my wife intends to
# leave her current fulltime job
# work full time on her online business and open up a shop
# foster 1 -2 children as a source of income
thanks for your help
You don't say whose name(s) the house is in (the matrimonial home).
As AK says, you do need legal advice on this, as in financial matters, her other (her 50% share) properties COULD be considered. you could be entitled to a larger share of the mat home for instance.
Child support is payable for the child, no matter what her income is, and if you are earning, it is right you should pay some maintenance for your child.
And you foster children because you want to help them, not as a form of income!!
thanks
the matrimonial home is in her name.
Thanks for the CSA information. Is this at 20% of my salary regardless of her income?
Under the Matrimonial Homes Right Act you have the right to place a notice on the matrimonial property. This will protect your interest in the matrimonial property. This will protect you if your ex decides to sell the property. She cannot do anything with the property while you have that Notice registered.
The Notice must be lodged at HM Land Registry.
And dont move out....once your out locks get changed and its a downward spiral......
Sorry mate, I don't have anything really to add but had to laugh at her fostering for income! Becoming a fosterer is a very lengthy process which can take several months and not all people succeed. They tend to foster out children at different ages to a child already living there so she'd likely babies, toddlers and primary school aged children - where would that leave her shop and business? Fostering isn't all sunshine and roses and it's incredibly selfish of her to use this as income. Two of my friends foster and they do it for love - the amount they get doesn't cover what they spend on these children.
