Can somebody please advise i have a property from a previous relationship which is about to be sold, my new husband of a year is saying he will be entitled to half of it? it is my name only not his.

Honestly, go to see a specialist in this sort of law. You may get some good advice on here, but at the end of the day the only way to sort it out is to go someone who has trained to do so.

Good luck.

Why would you marry someone that you would not be happy to share stuff with?!?!

Are you planning on leaving him and don't want him to have half this money?!

If you have no kids, then if you ever got divorced, it would be noted that you contributed the equity from your previous home. This happened to a friend of mine, whose lovely wife cheated on him after just 1 year of marriage, and got pregnant with her new guy. She tried claiming half the equity in the house (which was his family home from childhood!), but in the end she only walked away with half the equity increase over 18 months, and an old car!

Well, you don't have to hand over 50% of it to him, if that's what he means. You can keep it in your name and you could spend it on what you want. Whether that's going to be very good for your young marriage in another matter!

If you divorce in the future, he probably would be entitled to a share of it.

How do you manage your money at the moment? If you keep separate accounts and spend individually, then you might want to keep the money for yourself. If you have joint finances, then shouldn't this be shared as well?

What you decide may also depend on how good you both are with money. If you know he would spend it all like water, you may want to protect the money.

How would you feel if he, say, had a biggish win on the Lottery? Would you expect him to bring the money into your marriage or be happy if he tried to ring-fence it for himself?

None of my business I know but if I were in your shoes I'd be running for the hills..but he what he says may well be true if you do divorce, unless you spend it all in the meantime..:D someone will be along with the legalities I'm sure

He couldn't afford a lottery ticket unless i brought it for him.

For what it's worth here's what I'd do.
Kick him out now, and end the marriage before you get your money.

If this is for real and not another post from MSE's resident troll, Andy, then the money is the least of your worries.

Get some advice from Women's Aid.

i have debt also would he get a share of this to?

penol14

yes this is real and if i kick him out before the sale completes would he still get a share?
