He wants me to walk away?

jude

why would u let him get away with having just his name on the home? when u are also paying for it? your probably not going to get the house because his name is on it, and if your not legally married, he got u there. sounds as if he had it all planned out to where he wouldn't loose a thing in case of a breakup. u should ask a lawyer but since his name is on the house yours isn't, looks as if he gets the house. its always sad when a mate uses the other to get ahead and once he does how fast he is willing to kick her to the curb when he finds someone new.

get a good lawyer to help you out, he wants to cheat you out of the house

Im going through exactly the same thing, been married 8 years and husband doesnt feel anything for me... how nice. I dont have any children tho so for me its quite straightforward, plus my ex is quite amicable so we have come to an agreement with money. I think you will have to go to citizens advice. you will definitely be entitled to money as Im sure your ex will have to pay some sort of maintenance to keep you in the lifestyle your accustomed to. Solicitors charge a fortune so find out as much as you can from CAB first. Hope you get on ok.

Many years ago, an ex did this to me, I didn't have my name on any papers, so when he met someone else and chose to kick me out (I was paying 100% of the mortgage) he kicked me out and I could do NOTHING.

SHE then paid his mortgage. He then kicked HER out.

Last I heard, he got married and his wife bought a house for them, and SHE is paying the mortgage!

don't sign anything, go speak to your local CAB.

You need to get legal advice. Contrary to what 'aha' posted in legal terms, in the UK, there is no such thing as 'common law' wife or husband. I would not advise you walk away, you have a daughter to consider as well as your other two children. Go to Citizens Advice Bureau or find a family law solicitor and ask for a 'fixed fee interview'. You maybe entitled to Legal Aid to contest the situation.

Hi do not let him bully you into walking away, this is classed as abandonment in the eyes of the law. You must take legal advice on the subject, either with a solicitor or with the citizens advice if you live in the UK. If you act in a rash manner and leave it could have adverse results if you then go on to get a divorce.

Since your name is not on the mortgage I am not sure what you are entitled to, but with that being said... you need to think on wether it's or not it's worth it to fight it. With legal fees, stress, and time adding up over some equity that may or may not be (b/c of the terrible sellers market) you may end up being burnt out with empty pockets.

I think in the end, the courts would look at it as if you were paying him rent, kwim? Especially since you two were not married.

He can sign a quit claim deed over to you.

I don't know about where you are but here in Australia you'd still be entitled to half the house's worth as it was purchased whilst you were still living as a married couple (defacto/whatever) ...regardless of whose name is on it!

Get some legal advice hun!

aha

you've been together long enough to be classified as a "common law" relationship - esp with the child. depending on your jurisdiction, you may be entitled to some portion and he may have to buy you out - check with a lawyer, you should have a leg to stand on

You are entitled to some half this house...you both have a child together. Go to any citizens advice , they will tell you what you need to do....don't let him get away with this...it is not fair .

I'm sorry about that Liz but this is a solution for you. You cannot just walk away with nothing you have to take this situation to the court and i tell you you won't walk away with nothing. Besides they are going to consider who is wrong and the children are going to be included for any transactions they are going to do. Don't be worried and don't be worried about the documents. WISH YOU THE BEST
