Home rights - family law act

busiscoming2

Hi
I have just looked at the title register of my ex-husbands property (was mine too) to see if the charges put on by the CSA are there (they are). There is also a Notice of home rights under the family law act 1996 relating to his 2nd now ex-wife, (I'm no 1!)
this is dated just before my two with the csa, Can anyone tell me:
a. what this is, and what it means?
b. in the event of a sale or repossession etc, after the BS is she next in line? they had no children.
and c. he has told the CSA he wants to re-mortgage to pay the CSA debt, would a bs lend with 3 charges already registered?

Thanks.

She has obviously registered an interest in the property, however, how long were they married?

She can do this if she has contributed in any way to the property and when it is sold, she wants a share of it.

It looks like when he does sell the property you and the other Wife will get your share and whatever is owed.

I'll bet the Man never marries again too.

It could be Matrimonial Home Rights that have been registered - she doesn't need an interest in the property to get this, she just needs to be a spouse.

If she lives there and he doesn't, it allows her to stay. If he lives there and she doesn't, it means any buyer would take the property subject to her rights. Its not actually worth a fixed amount. If there are any financial proceedings associated with divorce, once the value of her settlement is decided and she's received whatever has been agreed/ordered, then the MHR will be removed from the register.

She left probably getting on for two years ago now, they married in about 2002, but am not sure. As long as her 'claim' doesn't override mine I don't care!
