    It's worth noting that the UK system isn't 'fault based'. So the fact your wife cheated won't give you any additional rights or advantage necessarily (other than the moral high group that is).

    Moral high group?? Is this an example of your legal drafting skills you advertise in another post?

    Have a read of YouLaw's T&C's - they're not regulated by the law society and they won't stand by information they provide, for that they suggest seeing a solicitor or barrister :rotfl:

  • Ok...i recently found out my wife has been cheating on me. We have been together 20 years, married 9 years and have three children aged 16, 11 and 5. I'm not sure what is going to happen in the relationship, but I need to protect my home.
    I own a £500k house with a £130k mortgage, solely in my name, bought 10 years ago. My wife has never contributed financially to the home. I pay everything, mortgage, bills, insurance and maintenance etc etc and always have done.
    If I sell my house to my sister for a nominal amount, say £10 and "rent" it from her. In the event that we do split up, will my home be safe? I dont want to sell it and i doubt we could both continue to live together. I will of course look after my children but my wife made a choice to play away and I don't know what then other guys intentions are. Please I don't want relationship advice, I just need it in black and white if I can protect my home this way. Thank you.
    What an absolutely disgusting thing to say, she's given birth too and raised your children, presumably cooked and cleaned and fed you so you were able to go out and earn a living, now personally i'd call that a huge contribution, and if i was to be nit picky about it, and well...; i think i shall, if you costed up those jobs so she could work to provide you'd be out of pocket pal.
    I hope she gets her 50%. She's probably earned it!
