i feel strong feel strong h to say in the house my 8 year old som has many friends and close by school and my two older (step sons) I want them to still feel welcome and they belong here if they choose

You want your dh to leave as he is neither obligated or committed to your family home?

It’s a joint asset in a divorce.

Did you own the house before you got married? If not you will find he is entitled to a share of the house.

It's a marital asset, if you are actually married and not just living together.

If you’re married, it’s a joint asset, as PP have said. It doesn’t matter who is on the deeds and who pays the mortgage.

Owning the house before you get married doesn't automatically mean it’s not a marital asset.

You need a lawyer.

She most definitely does...

Do you want the marriage to end? Your post isn't very clear about what you want apart from the fact that your dh has chosen not to contribute to the mortgage. Does he pay towards anything? Does he work? You will need to provide more information if you want appropriate advice.

Not contributing to the mortgage is irrelevant as you are bound by the legal state of marriage.

How do you think stay at home mums (or dads) survive the end of a marriage? They might not be contributing to the mortgage financially either but contribute by raising kids etc.

Sounds like your h contributes in other ways.
As others have said - see a solicitor.

He’s entitled to half the house as you are married.

As far as I'm aware, if the house was purchased by the OP before marriage, then her husband isn't automatically entitled to half (I assume this could be brought to court and argued but it's not an automatic entitlement).

It's a marital asset. Lots of women aren't on deeds and don't contribute financially to the family home and still take a share in the divorce

In most cases it’s considered a marital asset irrelevant of whether a house was bought before marriage unless it’s been legally ring fenced.

You need a lawyer.

I would imagine you need a legal document drawn up that he relinquishes any claim on the house as a marital asset should you divorce. After repayment of works done perhaps.

Get legal advice.

I'm not arguing differently as I may have been advised wrongly, but following legal advice we ended up having to prepare a Will to ensure the house would go to me if my husband was to pass away before me.
