Divorce and house.
Discussion
My sisters husband of nearly 2 years has decided that he know longer loves her and wants a divorce. He's run off back to his mummies house with most of his stuff and is living there now. This has all happened since tuesday. My sister is quite beside her self as everything was all right monday..
A few questions that hopefully someone could help with.
The house is my sisters which she owned before he was on the scene, (my mum has interests in the property as well) has he got any rights to it? he has paid nothing into the property and his name is not on any mortgage papers.(bankrupt)
My sister also financed a car in her name for him, where does she stand with this. He still has the car but she has all the paperwork.
Thanks.

He has an interest in the house as it was the matrimonial home, although the value of the interest will be relatively small reflecting the short marriage. He could formally register that interest with Land Registry via a Matrimonial Homes Rights notice.
He may not want anything from the house or the marriage though. Your sister will have to wait and see how it pans out.

When you say yes at the alter that is a contract which says I share every thing. Many forget that.
If will depend on his job and salary your sisters job and salary and if there are children.
Also it will depend on what he is after.
My marriage was only 3 years old you learn very quickly when you divorce.

My sister found his wedding ring that he had left at home which upset her. The lock where changed yesterday. Should be interesting as he's coming over later today for more stuff.
Not sure she should be doing that... However, as the former matrimonial home he as the right to break in providing there is nobody inside at the time.
I wonder!
Picked up on the Bankruptcy thing (if he is not discharged).... Not wishing to suggest more problems but....would I be right or wrong? - should his creditors get wind of his situation, then the liquidator may press for action as they stand to recoup even more funds... doubly good reason to get sound advice.
Maybe better all round for him not to contest... if he does and gets... then he doesn't get to keep... woosh!

He's cancelled the virgin tv phone and internet now, and british gas has phoned her saying everything needs to be changed over to her name ASAP.surely breaking in is ilegel.
breaking in where?She changed the locks, its their house, he's going back inside, she is denying him the entry to the joint home (as they are married still).
Bet you would change your tune if she was the one locked out and he owned most of it?
He sounds like a great catch. I don't understand why anybody with assets marries a bankrupt loser with no property and that works both ways. I live with my partner but as the owner I do not allow her to contribute to the mortgage or any property repairs and if she suggested marriage then that's a deal breaker. I have a wonderful relationship but would never put the core of my financial stability on the line because how on earth would I attract the next manipulative loser if they thought there was nothing they could get out of me and I ever needed to.

All that will change, of course, as soon as she gets pregnant.daveky said:
