Contracted Out and State Pension help?

atush

you may need a new solicitor.

The fact you paid for the property (ie 100% of any deposit) and that you are a carer and he employed will mitigate the 50% rule.

You really need better advice. After all, if he can have enough from the pension next year to buy and you cant (and it is your pension and he has none)- that means he should have to wait until you are old enough for pension or for whoever you care for to die?

He can't make you homeless if you keep 50% or more of your pension and he keeps 50% of his interest in the property. He would have to wait intil you can sell it. If you re made homeless, then the govt will have to pay for the person you care for. That is not in their interest.

What judge would let a working man make you homeless by taking your pension or making you homeless?

Better legal advice, have you been to CAB yet? Get a better referral for a solicitor who knows his stuff?

Yours is a case in which the house will not be a forced sale on divorce. As you cannot afford it.
