if you bought a house with someone and your name is not on the title or mortgage

[QUNDA]

is there something i can do if my name is not on the house

so what do you actually want out of this ? Reimbursement of the costs (which he might claim was a gift, for example), proportion of equity ? have you ever lived there ?

I PICK THE HOUSE OUT I LIVED THERE FOR 4YEARS

but did you pay anything??

NO

so your only financial contribution was the kitchen and bathroom ? How long ago did you move out and are there mutual children invovled ?

so you didn't buy it with him then? he bought it and you lived in it?

were you married?

So you lived rent-free for four years, just helping with the kitchen and bathroom???

Why the ?

When dh bought his first house, I helped him to choose it. He bought it himself, with no contribution from me.Later on I moved in there with him.

The next house we bought together.

Naturally I would not have had any claim on his house had we split up...

the is cos there has been quite a few of these threads over the last couple of days

When you buy a house you are required by law to sign a piece of paper to say that you are not going on the mortgage, this then stops any arguments as to who has rights to the house. This what happened when my DP bought the house that we live in nearly 2 years ago. When we renew our mortgage this December we will then have a joint mortgage. This is the advice that both our mortgage advisor and our solicitor gave us when we were buying.

yes i have 2 kids from him

They may have some sort of entitlement, does he pay anything towards their housing and support ? You need some proper legal advice tbh perhaps from CAB initially.

It depends on what the intent was when you purchased the house. If you can prove that the intention was to provide you and your exp with a home for your family as a joint asset, you may have an interest in the property.

You do need to seek specialist legal advice though as this is a complex area of law.

As I understand it then YOU have no right to any share in the house, but if you have children together you have a right to expect him to support them financially.

i would see a solicitor if i were you.

you have two kids together then you supported the household.

if nothing else you may be able to insist he sells up and gives you a share of the equity - which will piss him right off - and i think that would make you happier!

ok
