if I am married and not on the mortgage.?

Question

what am I entitled to if i am not on the mortgage and me and my husband ever split up?

Can anyone help please.

Thanks

(in England)

Not on the mortgage or deed as bad credit rating and won't be working much longer as going on maternity leave.

Answer 1

Are you planning on splitting up?

I think it would be better to focus on the here and now. Maintain your relationship with your husband, make it your highest priority and 'splitting up' will never even come into the equation.

If you dwell too much on the negative things that 'might' happen, you will bring that negativity into your relationship and risk damaging it.

Focusing on the worst-case scenario in your marriage is a great way to sabotage your relationship with your husband.

Whether you're entitled to a share of the house or not, I hope it never comes to that!

u will not get the house. why are u not on the mortgage? regardless of your credit a marriage is 50/50 and u need to be put on the mortgage right away or if u split u end up homeless. but the downfall of being on the mortgage could mean if u do split up u could be stuck with the house and paying for it too. i hope i helped u...

I am in the same position - as long as you are on the deed (co-owner) of the house you get half of it. So if you guys do split up, he has to either buy you out - meaning you agree on a selling price and he gives you half that money.

Or, you guys sell the house to someone else and split the profit. Oh, just in case, do this to save your *** - if you spent any money on the house - paint, tools, electric bills, fixing up bills, etc. Keep the receipts so that in the end he can't say that he paid for everything and you lived there for free.

Answer 4

Which country are you in?

If you were in England this is a grey area. Your share of the house would be assessed on your contribution financially in terms of cash, work and on your domestic contribution where the monetary value is unequal, so as not to penalise you for being female and raising a family. But judges take a dim view of gold-diggers and assess what each person brought to the marriage and what they owned individually before the marriage- also prenup arrangments are NOT legally binding or enforcable here.

Answer 5

if oyur on the ortgage - and he defaults you are liable to make payment.

if your on the deed the nyou are entitled to ahlf the poperty regardless of what happens.
hwoever because of the way some states/britain works that may be held to a sort of means testing t owork out how much you are entitled to, depending on what you put in to things.

Answer 6

Be care full my ex husband transferred everything into his dads name cunning s**t but amusing now that he`s living in a crappy council house on a crappy estate with a second hand banger parked out front and a wife that stands behind him in the bank queue palm out flat waiting for the money lmao.

Answer 7

I agree, it depends on the state. If the home was purchased while you were married to him, in Illinois you are intitled to half of the homes worth at the time of divorce.
So either the home would have to be sold or he would have to give you half of the equity in cash.
If he owned the home BEFORE you were married, it is his and you get nothing.

Answer 8

If your married you should still be entitled to half of everything. Why are you thinking of splitting up????

Answer 9

depends on the state you live in they all have some different rules but you being a woman you will always be entitled something

It doesn't matter if you are on the mortgage it matters if you are on the deed...are you on the deed? Find that out first...
