I've been seperated from my huband since 2004 and I can't find him to divorce him. Every time I have an address he moves. I was 10 weeks pregnant when we split, he has had no contact with his baby, paid no maintenance and left me with a 6k loan because it was in my name. I've ended up on income support struggling like mad and he knows I'm expecting money from the sale of a house. Can he claim any of it if we're not divorced?

no I don't think so..in order to claim it he has to show his face...and ask for it from you....probably would have to file some court papers which would get him into the record books...You should file for back-payment of child-support to get it on record that he is not around, is a dead beat dad, and does not help you financially...that way if you have to do anything legal..the judge and lawyers will have evidence against him and possibly look more favorably in your direction
also-you should make sure that check coming your way is getting sent to you...just incase he called them and tried to have the addressed changed so he gets it in the mail and you get squat

He knows about the money but you don't know where to serve papers on him for a divorce......very strange.
What house is due to be sold?
Why have you not pursued him for maintenance instead of scrounging off the state? The CSA can get an attachment of earnings.
To answer your question is impossible without knowing more about the house, if his name is on the deeds then yes he will be entitled.
If it is an inheritance via your family then there is less chance.
As has already been suggested you need to speak to a solicitor urgently about a divorce and the house

If the house was left to you alone then No he has no rights.
Best get some expert advice though, you should get legal aid if you are on income support, if not most solicitors offer a free half consultation. Good Luck your ex is a loser.

In Tennessee Yes, but laws are different in every state/country so check where you are!
The Law in TN is "community property" indicating all property (and debt) is owned by each party. So maybe your loan is 1/2 his also? I know he owes child support no matter what state!

I believe not...an inherritance is separate property. You should just file the papers to divorce him anyways...serve him at his last address and then if he doesn't show....get the judgment against him that way you will be done with it.

It depends on the laws where you reside. Some states are community property and all assets are split 50-50.

IT is according what state you live him, if yours has community property. I think the judge will give you whatever you want because of what a low life he has turned out to be. Get a Attorney a good one they'll get you what ever your entitled in your state.

It depends on the state. Get a lawyer, they can divorce him even if he does not appear.

If you owned the house before marriage. NO!
If you inherit it while married or after, NO!
