Ex-husband won't sell house jointly owned without mortgage

it doesn't really matter in your case who owns what, so this is irrelevant. as you were married, assets are split under divorce laws (which are very unfair) and does not follow the normal way that assets are allocated to the owner. when the property is purchased, you can nominate to be tenants in common or joint tenants, whether you are married or not. it is useful for other things, like tax etc, but it is not taken into account for divorce as the way assets are split is more complicated on divorce.mug18 said:I believe I own the house as a joint tenant rather than tenant in common as we were married with a joint mortgage. Would it be better to transfer to a tenant in common instead?
