i gave the house that i owned outright to my wife
so that we could divorce without acrimony ,
i have now fallen on really hard times
she will not talk to me and has a new man in her life,
i feel a bit aggrieved as i worked hard to pay for the house,
they are selling up and moving to spain.
is it worth getting legal advise or not?

I am sorry to hear, you are in such dire straits
Unfortunately , the divorce settlement
and the hand over of your house ( generous, as that was )
is legal and binding .
Contacting your ex wife has failed .
( So , TRY to write her off entirely )
that leaves you to resume and recover your life, and you will .
However ! -----I am no lawyer ----
Talking to a solicitor about this, may well help .
, He / she, could, well find some small loophole,
in all this , that i have not seen .
So by all mean, see one and discuss your plight .
, Take all relevant--- paper work--- with you ( saves time ).
i believe, you can have ( 1/2 an hour free consultation / advice ,
if you are short of money)----- So nothing lost there .
I am so sorry, to hear about your problems ,
don't give up ! Just move on .
All best

If it was agreed through the divorce court then your chances of taking back the settlement is very slim, you really need to talk to a solicitor, lots give 1/2 hour advice free.

It depends on your divorce agreement. It's unlikely you would be entitled to anything if you agreed she should have the house. If you had a 'leave to apply' clause in your agreement, it would give you a way back to court, but in this instance, I'm not sure it would do you any good.
It might be worth persisting with trying to get her to talk to you with a view to selling you the house at a reduced price, but in reality, there's no real reason for her to do that.
Good luck.

Are you sure the house is the issue here? You still call her your wife (not ex-wife) and worry that she won't talk to you. This sounds like you still have feelings for her. I'm sorry. It sounds as if the house and the wife are long gone. You made the best decisions you could make for yourself at the time. I'm not unsympathetic; been there, done that. But I believe it's time to pick yourself up and get on with your life. Best of luck to you.

Did you sign anything? I assuming so to transfer title.
In that case, it comes under the heading of "tough luck".
