is he entitled to anything?

Question

My partner and i were together for 4 years we lived in his house for about a yr aaltho i was still staying at my house at times which was 500 miles away. I sold my house and bought another, he didnt put anything towards. I bought the house outright and then about 6 wks after we split up - he never actually moved in either as he still had his house. This was almost 2 years ago and ive had about 4 letters saying he is going to take me for half the house. Is he entitled to anything? Any help wud be very much appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

If he had moved into your house with he would be entitles to half the amount the amout the house evalued during the time he was there.
ie He moved in the house is worth £50 k
when he moves out the house is worth £52 k

Differnce is £2 k hw is entitled to 1/2. that is £1 k

If he never moved in he is entitled to Zip (Nothing)

Answer 2

I wouldn't think so but much can depend on the law of the country you live. Without the community knowing this you will not get an accurate answer to your question and also even if we did it really would need to be from an expert in this kind of law. For your peace of mine have a consultation with a solicitor. It won't cost very much. If you happened to be strapped for cash the Citizens Advice Bureau in Britain usually have a volunteer solicitor who consults every couple of weeks and if in not in Britain I imagine there are similar agencies in other countries. Trust all works out for you

Answer 3

He is not entitled to anything so stop worrying. he is not on the property deeds or any mortgage you have on the property, he has never lived there. Basically, he has no interest and can claim no interest in your property at all. If anything, you could claim on his saying that you contributed to his house while staying there!!. He is trying to scare you - ignore it completely - he hasn't got a leg to stand on. How the hell can he take you for half the house - he doesn't own half the house? God, it sounds like you are well rid of this guy. If you have any concerns, speak to your mortgage company or solicitor.

Answer 4

Dont imagine so until eventually you are able to coach that you've been being harrassed /intimidated or similar or maybe then you definately will desire a watertight case. regrettably in case you voluntarily resign out of your employment i imagine its something like 4/6 weeks before you are able to declare any type of advantages & even then they could be at a decreased price. In hindsight you ought to have made a suitable criticism for your instant manager about regardless of the truth that became bothering you & a minimum of that way you've got had something to fall again on once you left

Answer 5

Ok... for as long as you were not married, his name isnt on the deeds and he didnt live in your house on a day to day basis, he cannot claim jacks***. He's bugging you cos he's pieved that you're not interested. I suggest you say very nicely to him, you are now seeking legal advice and will get back to him shortly. In fact, if you've lived in his home as a common law wife and paid or contributed to the running costs of his home you can claim something from him. But the process is lengthy tedious and not very rewarding. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 6

NO NO NO!
he is not entitle to anything. Please keep those letters very close to you. Put them in a bank safe!!
He might want to take you to court, because he THINKGS he has the right, but he will waste money only.
IF you prove you bought that property with our own money, even if he has given you money without papers there is no compromise.
You bought a house with the money you had from selling your previous house.
Now you have letters that he send to you, but i believe that he is just bluffing, he will do nothing as he knows he has all to loose.
anyways dont even worry aobut it, he does not owe nothing of yours. He only owes the memories of you together.

good luck!

Answer 7

Explain to him very clearly (preferably with a baseball bat) that he should take a long walk off of a short pier. I very much doubt if he's entitled to the cr*p off your shoes but if you're really worried go and talk to someone at the citizens advice bureau. Good luck.

Answer 8

I wouldn't think so. Sounds like he's just trying to scare you into giving him a share.

Did you pay half the expenses when you stayed at his house? He might figure he has something due to him over that. Could be, too.

Maybe you should see a lawyer. Might be money well spent.

Answer 9

No. You both own a house each. Fair enough. Ignore the letters.

Answer 10

Get a good solicitor and insist that all correspondence goes to him/her - don't even open the envelope if anything comes to you - just forward it to your lawyer to take care of. Your ex partner should not be permitted to cause you any more worry. Good luck.
