You are on the Uk board so i assume you are in the UK- so you need to seek legal advice- i think you will find you are still entitled to half even though your name is not on the mortgage. You have been a partner in the marriage and contributed one way or another and a judge will take this into account. Seek legal advice immediately to find out where you stand and do not sign anything over until you have seen a solicitor.

well im sure its easy to get a divorce,alot of people divorce every year without complications.As for the house,you may have to move out and i doubt you would get any money if the house was ever sold.But i have also herd that if you have lived with someone for more than six months you are entitled to half of everything.The easiest thing to do is book an appointment with a solicitor and they will tell you everything you need to know.You might even get legel aid.Good luck.

Anything purchased during the time of marriage is considered marital property. With exception of 1 thing Wedding rings. Anything, purchased during marriage, doesn't matter if it was a gift for birthday or Christmas, is considered marital property. Talk to an attorney, Usually there is no consultation fee.

Try to get your name on the house somehow through what they call a "gift deed" before you even think of saying the word "divorce" yet. This will help in the legal process just in case you want the house.

Depends on where you live and how long you have been married. If you live in a community property state what his is yours and yours is his regardless. If not, you may still have a chance to get half of the homes equity. Check your states community property laws and get a good lawyer.

In a community property state, it doesn't maater if you're name is not on the mortgage. The value is still divided among the partners of the marriage.

Your partner should have had you sign documents when you moved in saying you were a non-paying tennant. Else you get half the house even though you haven't paid anything towards it

If you are not on the mortgage, then you aren't responsible for paying for it. If you are divorced, then it is up to the judge, to make any decisions on the house.

if the house was bought before you married then take your eyes off it. if it was bought after you married then the judge may award you half of its value esp if you have children.

If the house was bought during the marriage then half of it is yours.
