My ex-husband and I still own a property jointly in the UK, which is up for sale. My ex pleads poverty and has never paid a penny towards the mortgage, but he doesn't know that we know he and his new wife (who doesn't work) are spending money like water on fripperies. We're talking over £1000 on CDs, DVDs, cuddly toys, etc, but not a penny towards the mortgage. His new wife owned her house before they met and I know as her husband, my ex has matrimonial home rights in her property. My partner has had to pay my ex's share of the mortgage and it's now getting to the point where we are worried that when the property sells, there won't be enough left to discharge what my ex owes my partner. My partner wants to know if he can sue my ex for the money, and if so, if he can force a sale of my ex's wife's house. My ex has been a complete, lying b****** from the beginning - we have a mountain of evidence against him.

Actually my partner DID have to pay this money for my ex, as if he hadn't, the property would have been repossessed and both my ex and I would have gone bankrupt. At one point my ex expressed the hope that this would happen. The question is not whether my partner can recover his money from my ex, which my ex has already acknowledged he owes, but whether my partner can force a sale of his matrimonial home to recover the money if that becomes necessary?

It relies upon whose call(s) is/are on the deed. while you're the two on it, you need to have no issues even though, you need to communicate your X and her new BF into procuring it from you (finding out to purchase your proportion), even at a "deep decrease cost" cost through fact in this financial equipment, in case you get an criminal expert in contact, you will possibly unfastened any income you're observing now to the criminal expert in fees. keep in mind additionally that for the duration of the experience that your call is on the deed and you do no longer stay there, for even though altruistic reason, and your X and different trash the situation, you're nevertheless responsible for the trashing. And in case you come via later and fasten the entire element as much as sell (at your rate), your X remains entitled to one million/2 the proceeds. i realize it sucks yet it relatively is one relatively stable reason to no longer get too friendly (in case you recognize what I advise) with human beings earlier you get to appreciate them thoroughly.

If there's no contract, written or verbal, between your ex and your partner, your partner is screwed out of the money. Sorry but all your ex has to do is tell a judge he never asked your partner to pay this bill for him.
