Marriage Breakdown Advice

Background




Hi I saw your website I had a few questions.


I own our marital home outright, my wife has never paid a penny towards the mortgage, we have been married for three years.


I have no job, no pension, no car, recieve no benefits, and live off my savings.


My wife has a job 30k per year, a car, a little savings, a rental income from her home.


Over recent times my job has become an intolerable hell.


My wife, (against my wishes) invited her daughter into our home with her new baby. Before that she lived with her boyfriend
for a year. I think my wife has treated me very unreasonably.



Questions
If I ask my wife and her daughter to leave in a reasonable time frame (say 3 months) and she says no what do I do ?


If I ask her to seperate for a period and move out and she says no what do I do ??


Im sure the best thing is to agree the financial settlement, in light of the above I think its just a case of go our own separate ways (if it comes to that) she takes her house and money I take mine.


Will she have grounds to make me sell my house or claim half bearing in mind I have no other place to live and have a son who lives here sometimes and have no income of any kind?


In the light of that if we got divorced could I claim, from her as I have no income, she has her own home, job, rental Income car etc....



Final question

[FONT=&quot]Whats the nexy steps or any other alternatives to divorce ?[/FONT]

You'd have to buy her out, I think.. you're married so she'd be entitled to half of everything. Just ask chav daughter to leave and if she refuses make it a bit less comfortable for her to stay (ask for rent money, etc) Presumably she is not working and is in the house most of the time?

http://www.wikivorce.com/divorce/ is a useful site.

A marriage of only three years is considered a short marriage and a court would aim to put you both back in the financial situation you were in before you married. If you lived together before marrying, that would affect the financial settlement.

Not necessarily after only three years, especially as they do not appear to have children together.

Also, the wife has a 'home' she rents out plus savings. Between the two (OP and wife), they may have similar assets anyway.

Just confirm please ........ You have no job...... or is it your job has become hell ?

I'm no legal expert but after such a short marriage i can't imagine a Court would make you give away half your house, especially if your wife has a home of her own and she earns more than you do.

I'm going to advise a Relate visit. There just seems to be a lot more behind this. Why did the daughter move out of the boyfriends house? If it was for the safety of the child I can see why your wife might have let her daughter move in, although temporary.

Thanks for helping, my wifes daughter moved out because she wanted help with the baby, she was not in danger, yes i totally understand that a temporary move and that will be fine with me but my wife dosent see how she can get anywhere to live, so at what point do I call enough is enough ??? I feel my wishes and feelings on what happens in my house that I bought with not one penny assistance from here have been ignored ??

Does your wife object when your son comes to live with you?

You need a solicitor, so does she.
