husband making her sell house

carlos700

Thanks everyone for all your advice just logged on and i can see there is a dabate going on.I am female even though i chose a male name to use to log on do not ask me why i chose that name )

It all came out of the blue for my friend she thought she was happily married .They both worked really long hours but at weekends had a really good social life and had holidays all over the world .Her husband met this other women at his work so the affair had been going on along time before he decieded to leave and start a new life.

I do not think my friend has got her head around him leaving yet never mind selling her home.I think she knows she has to sell or buy him out but like i said she wants a little time to greive so to speak.

I think i would also feel very angry if my husband left me in these circumstances it must be hard to just hand everything over that she has worked for because she does put in alot of hours to have a lovely home.He also put in alot of hours but in hignsight maybe it was not all work.

Excuse me???

Bear in mind that to begin with this woman didn't ask for her situation - her husband has left for another woman. She trusted him enough to purchase the house with him, making it possible for him to own it in the first place. This wasn't a boyfriend etc, it was her HUSBAND.

He now fancies another 'piece' and leaves of his own free will, then demands that she sell the house to suit him? She never kicked him out. I think it is disgusting.

That said, I suppose she has no choice but to sell up. However, it will probably make her very wary about buying any property with a future HUSBAND in case she gets shafted by another daft prat once again.

I don't disagree with your post but it does take 2 people to to end a relationship or cause the problems. I was in a similar position to the OP friend where my husband went off with other women, but i still say it takes 2 meaning both people in the relationship to break it.

does she not want to start divorce proceedings first, then the situation with the house would be resolved during that?

On the whole, I agree but I know of one couple where the wife left totally out of the blue. They'd just brought a new house and one day, it's darling lets start a family. Next day she's walked out.

Agree about legal advice ASAP. She also needs to have a been keeping a record of who's been paying what re mortgage & house bills for when they split the proceeds.

Can she not agree to a division & speak to the bank about giving her a larger mortgage if she got a couple of lodgers in?
