Estranged husband wont pay half bills yet insistent he pays half house insurance

It doesn't alter his (or your)rights. His solicitor will have advised him to do it as the insurance protects his asset, so it's reasonable for him to contribute.
If things dragged out for a long time it would make it harder for you to claim that he had given up any interest in the property or told you it was all yours, or anything of that kind, although it's unlikely that in itself it would make any difference.All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)1 -
He is paying the household bills at a different place and not using the ones you are living at.Bhuna said:
Yes its in both names - i just dont understand why hes insistant on paying half when refused to pay household bills that were in his name so i had to take over them - do you know if it would make any difference to his rights if he didnt pay half of the house insurance as i dont know why his solicitor has advised this.user1977 said:The buildings insurance should be in joint names if the property is in joint names. Is that what he means? It doesn't really matter who actually pays it.1
