Will my new wife automatically be entitled to half my house?

I'd be surprised if your new wife is happy with your attitude either.

You clearly think that you can sacrifice your ex wifes half of the house in order to keep your new wife sweet so that you can still keep your majority share. Grow up mate, you can't give away someone elses property or share in it to somebody else so the only thing your new wife will get half of is YOUR half of the house.

Your ex wife still gets the complete 50% despite your wishes to cheat her out of it somehow.

While we're here though, do you mind if i sell your car and keep 75%?

I don't have an attitude at all. I paid for the house with my money. I don't want to end up with nothing that's all. I'm not trying to cheat anyone. I just need to know the facts as any intelligent human being would in my circumstances.

If you split up with Wife No 2 within I think 2-3 years, it is extremely likely that any court/solicitor would put you both back to the financial positions you were in when you met (ie you have half a house, Wife 2 has zilch). For those 2-3 years, it's advisable she doesn't actually contribute towards the mortgage or major works to the house. Not sure if she's paying you any money as rent - bit odd if you're now married, but people can be very strange when it comes to 'mine and theirs'.

If you were intelligent you wouldve paid your ex off already and decided against getting married again.

She has nothing basically and that is the point of my question in the first place. My first wife is not the problem. It's the new wife as she's coming into this relationship with nothing but her clothes. Should this not work out, let's say after 12 months, is she gonna leave me with nothing?

Why are you marrying someone who you think might walk out on you and take you to the cleaners in 12 months time? If you are sceptical about her intentions perhaps you should reconsider (or at least delay) the marriage.

Why are you marrying her if you think it might be over in a few years?

No offence, but if you are already thinking what if this doesn't work out 12 months down the line, then I would seriously question why you are getting married to this person in the first place.
I completely understand your concerns, but if they are true concerns based on doubts you have, I would really re-consider the marriage...

It's a bit late, if you are about to remarry somebody without a penny to their name to start thinking about some pretty important aspects of your marrige. Marry in haste, repent at leisure comes to mind. Maybe the sensible thing to do would be to sort this aspect out satisfactorily first for all parties and then marry without this potential ticking time bomb hanging over your head. Consult a solicitor and get it resolved otherwise your second marriage may end up going the same way as your first.

Not married yet. She will be paying towards the bills yes, but I don't have a mortgage as I own the house. Thanks for your info. That's what I wanted to hear.

What a bizarre foundation for a marriage!!

My divorce is not finalised yet. I am having to get remarried as it's the only way my new woman can come to this country.
