my childrens inheritance
bergeyk1960
Posts: 1 Newbie
I have been married for just over one year, and I'm now seeking a divorce. My partner has threatened to damage/destroy items in the home.
The house has been in my name for over 15 years, prior to marriage.
How can I protect what is my childrens inheritance, and the possibilty of any loss, through the threatened damage ?
Also how long could my partner stay in the house without contributing to living expenses ?

Sounds like they are looking for a criminal record, does they really want that?Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

If the house is in your name then I think he has no right to live there.
You can ask him to leave and change the locks.
However, get legal advice first as if this is wrong then you could be in all sorts of trouble.0 -
Why do you assume the OPs partner is male? This could just as easily be a male posting who has a female partner threatening him.
OP contact a solicitor and take their advice regarding how to handle this awful situation. Once your partner realises you have someone legal backing you, you may well find that he/she will back right down and behave in a civil manner.The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.0 -
If you have valuable items, they won't be your children's inheritance, they will normally be part of the divorce settlement and divided between you and your spouse.0

Surely not after just one year if most was acquired prior to marriage?
Definitely worth taking solicitor's advice on this one.0 -

Not after a year they won't. It's a short marriage (so unless they were together for a decade before they married) the court will seek to out them both back to where they were before the wedding.
Which should mean that the OP's house is safe. So just phone the police and have your ex removed and change the locks.0
