We bought a house 4 years ago and my name is not on the title. I saw a lawyer, she told me since he was the one to pay for the mortgage, I can't ask for the share of the property. How about i pay for groceries, household stuffs, clean the house, cook, fix small things around... he never touch his hands on any thing in the house. What he paid is making interest (equity) and what paid is gone, is it fair???
The lawyer also said I can ask for spouse support, but since his financial situation is a stupid mess (he is a gambler), he has nothing left to pay (he earns over 60,000/year)
I am 57 years old, don't have steady job. Some invisible physical problem. What can I do?

unfortunately since you didn't have him put your name on the lease and your not married nothing. Aside from the fact he has nothing to give you. You could try suing him for years of anguish or something so many things you can sue for now a days get a good lawyer they will help you on this. He will have to sell the house and give you money.

Wow! This is definately not fair, but a rule that I was always told is to make sure the mortgage or any loans or vehicles have both names on them because you never really do know what may go wrong. I know that it's a little late to be telling you this now, but honestly it doesn't sound like there is anything you can do about that situation. You can pretty much leave with what you came with and that's all. I would say that since you do have some physical issues and are not working right now and it sounds like you have no place to reside then you can possibly apply for government assistance until you can get on your feet again and I'd suggest finding a steady job so that you can support yourself. This is really an unfortunate situation. Good luck to you!

the only thing you can do right now is what you did, leave him!! i know that it is hard but sometimes when we as women get to emotionally involved we end up like this. your lawyer can ask for spousal support because you have been married for 9 years and you have a disability so there is something she can do, but then again you was the one who walked out of the marriage so there is a problem there.the best thing right now is to keep it moving, trust and believe that he will pay for what he has done, and when he realize how deep his gambling is he is going to loose the house anyway. stay in prayer, god didn't bring you this far to leave you. just do what you have to do in the mean time

you in all risk have alot of at a loss for words emotional clarification why you're nevertheless of their domicile. once you're being abused it relatively is many times very difficult to get your self out of the area particularly whether it is your mothers and dads abusing you when you consider which you don't be conscious of ways they might try this to you and you in basic terms want issues to be diverse. yet you're 21 and you will look after your self whether you may desire to commence in under friendly dwelling situations. something (very just about) is greater suited than the place you're. and perhaps you're so used to listening to undesirable issues approximately your self which you don't be conscious of you deserve greater suited, yet you do. i do no longer even might desire to be conscious of you to tell you which you're a appropriate guy or woman, who could make it on her own, you're specific and staggering and you do no longer should be spoken to in that way or bodily harm EVER or by utilising every person. those are each individual's rights. you may desire to flow to the police first for risk-free practices, or no longer less than a secure place the place your Dad can not discover you. The police can help connect you with people who will enable you to until you paintings out what to do next.

You have nothing legal in writing so you get nothing. You can't get spousal support because you weren't married, you were not a spouse. You CHOSE to live this way for 9 years. You're obviously a grown up and not a niave child. This is what you CHOSE for yourself you'e going to have to suck up and deal with it, look for a more steady form of employment is all I can offer.

So what you're saying is that you want to be rewarded for keeping up the house? You want to be rewarded for supporting the life he wanted you to have. You never questioned it before, since he was paying the home, and that was the least you could do. Sorry that you're not able to support yourself, but something tells me that he was ALWAYS verbally abusive, and it took you this long to leave. Good for you for leaving, but you still want to be supported by him with alimony. Sheesh...if he's ordered to pay alimony, his gambling problem is not taken into consideration. He must pay you, and find another way to gamble.
I hope your daughters are able to support themselves.

Learn from your mistakes and dont miss another day of life. I went through all this. Next time make sure your name is on anything you are financially helping with. You have a beautiful life waiting or this nightmare would not be happening. Keep your chin up and life like a Champion! Roll on sister.

Talk to another lawyer, and get him for spousal support, make sure to include is was abusive. You could have stayed and had the police remove him until you went to court. Good luck.
