Asking on behalf of a friend.
Her and her DH are splitting up. Neither can afford the house so it will be sold.
They purchased the house before they were married. My friend put in a huge deposit in comparison and a solicitor drew up an agreement reflecting this so if they split she would have her input protected and would be given the greater share of the selling price.
Since they purchased the house and had this agreement drawn up they then got married and had children.
Is this deed still valid or was it declared void once they married?
Also, once the house is sold who decides how much each of them get on completion day? Can it each go into their own bank accounts/new property or does it have to go into one account and be split afterwards?
My friend is currently being an ostrich and believes she doesn't need a solicitor's input as they are going to amicably sort it between them....
