Protecting my home in case of divorce

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?Originally Posted by shortcrust

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:

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.
