Mentally ill MIL wants to divorce FIL advice please!!?

Mother in law is mentally ill with psychosis and alcoholic scizoprenhia (poor spelling sorry) she has been sectioned twice in the last 2 years and has just been discharged from hospital and living elsewhere now she wants a divorce after 30 years Father in law is very upset but accepts this she has never worked a day in her life and has used his money to buy cigarettes and alcohol now he has no savings no pension and a small mortgage on a lovely house which he has worked so hard for all his life


Where does he stand with the property as she is classed with a mental problem and earns no money and has never contributed to any bills or anything is she still entitled to half ? and can she force him out of the house ? i believe her name is on the mortgage agreement and property deedsMentally ill MIL wants to divorce FIL advice please!!?
I would have to agree with Arthur W. Exactly.Mentally ill MIL wants to divorce FIL advice please!!?
If he uses her mental illness against her in uncertainity if she really wants the divorce, he could beat this especially under the wedding vows of ';in sickness and health..';. That would be his choice of course, otherwise he could lose big here if the divorce went thru
i have to ask myself is she in the right mind to make such a decision , it could just be anger and frustration , i would consult a solictor and find out all my rights , but i would also sit down with the mother in law this must be very distressing for the children
The only way to find this out is go to a lawyer, I think she may be entitled to half if her name on the deeds. Make sure you get a good lawyer and give you FIL plenty of support, he's going to need it, but he needs her out.
Don't you understand that laws differ from country to country, and in some cases even from state to state within the same country? How do you expect to get any sort of meaningful answers if you don't even say where your father-in-law and mother-in-law are?
