Register interest

[londonbird1969]

My husband has started an affair, has started gaslighting me, is still living in the property and removed his wedding ring and now wants a divorce. All this is fine ( with in reason) in itself and I am understandably heartbroken. What I do need to do is register my interest in our home as he never put my name on the deeds when i bought into the property.
I have paid the £7 to get our code. i have filled in the form but for the very life of me I cant find where to send it!

Please help!

As long as you are married and it is legally recognised it doesn’t actually matter that much what your name is on. For the purposes of a divorce in England it is a marital asset along with anything else (pensions, savings, second homes and debt) in your individual names.

If you've been married a while it's irrelevant as the starting point for asset split is 50:50 - equity, pension, savings, investments etc etc.

You need to see a solicitor to ensure he doesn't shaft you.

@LemonTT @unsync it's not about the divorce as such but to make sure he doesn't sell the house and hide the proceeds in the meantime.

Thank you but was hoping for an email address as well.

@unsync he can sell the home from under me and I then have to take him to court for half… as we are now no fault I would have to pay court costs. I would win, but still have to pay costs. So paying £7 to register seems a no brainier

@londonbird1969 If it help you, do it. What you mustn't do is leave the marital home. However difficult he makes it, you need to stay put.

I agree don't leave the house. Make him have to leave it to go spend time with the other woman.

If he changes the locks that's illegal. Ensure he knows this if there is any risk of that.

@unsync @Unexpectedlysinglemum thank you. He is purchasing a property but hasn’t found one yet so is still seeing her whilst living in the marital home! Trying to keep it civil but it’s hard
