Can He Throw Me Out.

frilly_knickers

My husband and I have been married for 15 years, the house we live in is in his name as I couldn't get a mortgage due to passed history.
At Christmas, I stupidly had a bit of a fling at a Christmas party, we didn't sleep together, but came close. Someone. has told my husband and he, rightly so is unforgiving.
I am sorry for what happened, and have no feelings for the other man, in fact I doubt that I will ever see him again.
I want to sort out this, and have been trying, but today I have received a letter from his solicitor giving me 28 days to move out of the house.
I don't want to leave, and I feel that his decision is harsh, and a knee jerk reaction. Can he do this, even though I am not on the deeds, my money helps pay the mortgage and bills.
Help please!

Get a solictor ASAP. This is the best advice you can have right now.

He has lawyered up, so must you.

Would I get legal aid, as I don't have any savings nor can I afford any legal help.

I don't think you can get legal aid for divorce cases now.

I agree that it is probably a knee jerk reaction, assuming that this type of behaviour is very out of character for you. If not, he maybe is actually fed up with ongoing flirting.

I think you should get some legal advice, but I would hope that you and your husband will be able to have a long chat about it before you felt forced to move out.

Knee jerk or not, I dont think this is harsh. Imagine how hurt you would feel OP if the tables were turned. Expensive fling.

You can usually get a free consult or else contact CAB & ask for an appointment.

You have rights especially after 15 years.

Frilly knickers eh? I would keep them up in future.

I don't think we are getting the whole story, not by half. That is if this is a genuine post anyway

I don't flirt, and it is out of character. He had an affair with a girl in his office 3 years ago, it lasted for around 6 months. So I don't feel he is being reasonable. He hasn't mentioned divorce, just wants me out. I am scared to leave the house in case he changes the locks.

I agree that I did wrong, and have tried to make amends, but now he won't even talk to me, he won't eat anything I cook, does his own washing, and has moved ME into the spare room.

A lot of solicitors offer a free initial 1/2 hour, see if you can find one in your area. I am pretty sure that as you are married he cannot just throw you out. but you really need proper advice.

Also your local CAB may be able to help,

I might be wrong but I think since the house is in his name then yes he can kick you out - that doesn't mean you won't be entitled to 50/50 in the settlement of divorce but technically the house isn't yours but part of his assets he has to divide...

I would of thought.
