Divorce entitlement advice UK?

Hi all.





I need some advice on UK law. My husband has dropped the bombshell that he wants a divorce. Although I have been paying the mortgage for two years, I am not on the deeds as he had the house before we got together and he never agreed to put my name on the deeds. So, am I entitled to half the value of the house or only entitled to what I've put in in mortgage payments?





Also, we have a savings account (in his name, not a joint account) and when I checked it, a large sum of money was withdrawn. I'm worried that he's spending it all so there is nothing left in it to split between us. Since this money is in his personal account, is there anything I can do about it as most of it has already been spent?





Thanks,

I dont know about the savings.. you need to talk to a solicitor about that.





as for the 'family home' yes I believe you are entitled to half... in england and in scotland.





google this.. there is a lot of info on the web.Divorce entitlement advice UK?
You need to speak to a lawyer. It will often depend on personal circumstances however as far as I know if your name isn't on the deeds I don't THINK you are entitled to it unless he agrees or you can prove you paid it, same with the bank account. Good luck.
You need to see a solicitor asap you need a charge putting on the property with the land registry to stop him from selling the house which he could do as it is all in his name.
I believe that you are entitled to half of everything (whether you paid for it or not) unless there was a prenuptial agreement to the contrary.
Dont quote me but i think if you have been together for two years married or not money and assets are split equally.The judge would demand to see bank records to from both sides.
If you are married then you will get half of the joint assets - so you add the value of both your assets together and divide by two. Bear in mind that this rule also applies to his pension (and yours) if you have private pensions say though your employer. The ';leaking'; bank account sounds as though it might be difficult to deal with. You should do your best to show that although in his name it was your joint assets - coming from money earned during the marriage.. Hopefully if you can do enough to show that then it will be possible to assess what has ';leaked'; and add it into the assets - you can then get your share of the ';leak'; before the 50/50 split.





I have been through this - but in an amicable ending of the marriage - so I know it is correct.





But dear lady you need to go to a solicitor specialising in family law for advice and to get this ';leaking'; bank account issue on the table as soon as possible.





Be strong - good luck.
