im buying a house

[daver1986]

im buying a house and will be moving in in the next couple of weeks. i will be moving in with my girlfriend and our 11 week old baby, to honest i dont think we will last but we are giving it a go for the babys sake. but my problem is if she moves in with me will she be able to claim on my house and take it off me? she has been told by someone that i will have to move out and she will still be able to live there while i pay the bills, is this true? someone please help??

Have signed and dotted yet? it would be so much easier if you rented...
It depends on a few things.
1) who's name is the mortgage in.
2)who paid the deposit.
3)who's name is on the deads.
4)who will be paying the mortgage.
5) if she has some where to go if/when you split.
6)if she is getting advice also she must be thinking about it.
7)will she have her own income if you split up.
8)you will have to pay for you'r baby untill he/she leaves school.
see a solicitor A.S.A.P

If you don't think your relationship will last, and you haven't yet exchanged contracts I urge you to think again and not go ahead. If you are buying the house in joint names, then your girfriend will have equal rights to the property and could even end up being able to live there after you split up because she has a child, whereas you will end up having to doss on a mate's sofa.

don't go there!

You hoping for different answers this time - I thought some of the things said before spelt things out clearly.

you're too immature to be buying a house. don't do it.

She may well have rights to live in the house with the child even if you own it. I don't think she will have any rights to the property itself. I would go see solicitor and have contract drawn up if youre going to go ahead with it. I would rent until you know the situation for sure.

And going to the solicitor over this may give you a particularly good idea of whether she will split.....i.e. when she's see you putting a "legal condom" over the potential property exposure, she may jump ship. Hope she stays though if you want that (and thats not about your kid)
