Estoppel Question Advise Needed

[Tiger7861]

Me and my partner live in my parents house for 15 years now they want me out in the past on numerous occasions they have promised me and my partner the house but nothing on paper
The deeds are in there name and we have never paid any rent or mortgage but we have spent money on the property over 10 years about 15k . Do I have any chance of keeping the house or staying here we have 2 children the solicitor had advised me of estoppel saying that you parents have broken there promise?Additional DetailsI forgot to mention me and my husband are separated know he is saying that no promise was made I have a witness to the promise but we did apply for local housing housing register waiting for a house will that have any significance ?
As the landlords are saying one of the conditions of staying there was that you stay on the hosing register.
In other words we did not reply to our detriment can this act bee taken like this ?

If it comes to reading Tyger or Barmaid -
BM comes out on top.
her last posts are:

If you have a solicitor who can get counsel's advice that quickly and can form an opinion about trial without even seeing you at this stage why on god's sweet earth are you bothering to ask random strangers on a forum?!

£13k? No idea where that came from. Triple it and add some and you are getting close.

barmaid's message:

//He has no other financial plus points money house nothing //

Far be it for me to point out the obvious inconsistency here.....

I'm out.

[lcg]

what barmaid is saying is that you can't sue your in-laws.....and your ex is next to useless as he has no assets either. so, suing someone for nothing = nothing.

[Tiger786]

He has nothing but his parents may give him this house in future will that count

[boxtops]

..and what are you suing them for? To occupy a house which has never been yours, for which you've never paid a bean apart from expected maintenance. You've had it very cushy for the last 15 years - life's not like that for most people. Get real, stop playing that you understand the court processes and terminology, and crack on with providing your OWN home for you and your children. Don't faff around any longer pursuing unachievable dreams. As has been said before, you can throw as much money as you like at solicitors and barristers - it'll be a complete waste of money.

..and by the way, if you haven't put money in your own bank account, but it's your ex-husband's from his work - isn't he going to want that back, if he put it in the account?

[Barmaid]

Fair point LCG, but what I am saying is this.

Tiger alleges that the property was given to her and her husband. She acted to her detriment on reliance of the promise that the legal title would be theirs eventually , but in all other respects they acted for years as if it had already been gifted.

Consequently, at the time of the divorce, she believed her hubby had nowt. She did NOT believe that her hubby owned half of the property.

And there, is the massive and case destroying inconsistency since the two are mutually exclusive.

No of course it won't count, Tiger - the position is at NOW, not in the future, you have no more guarantee of the house being given to him, it's pure speculation. Nothing you're saying, nothing you're clutching at straws with, holds water. Give it up before you bankrupt yourself.

[lcg]

aha......so whoever is advising this person is a complete numpty. perhaps they got their licence to practice off the side of a cornflake packet?!

[lcg]

oh - and even if they do give it to him after they get you out, you still can't claim because it is waaaaaaaaaaaaay after your divorce. i feel a sly smile coming on....

[Tiger786]

Barmaid so your saying while we where getting divorced I did not mention we owned this house or we thought this was ours that there is no case so if I'm our divorce I mentioned that the house is a gift and needs to spilt I would have a chance

[boxtops]

Exactly lcg, that's what I have been trying to get across to Tiger!

[Tiger786]

Yes but even if you divorced for eg if your ex wins lottery u can claim can't you sort finances after final divorced certificate is issued

[Tiger786]

We've had no clean break order

[Tiger786]

From divorce website
"A financial Order can be made at any time after decree nisi, however some parts of the Order, for example property adjustment or a lump sum payment cannot take effect until decree absolute. "

[browntrout]

but Tiger always comes back (like above) with some sort of gibberish that means whatever the reader (any reader) wants/thinks it means. this is deliberate, to keep this farce going.

[sherrardk]

Is your divorce all done and dusted - ie, have you got your decree absolute?

[Tiger786]

Yes I have

[sherrardk]

Well then you are divorced. From what you previously posted I took it to mean that a financial order can be made after decree nisi and before decree absolute with some monies not being payable until after decree absolute. You can't keep going back and trying to change things and get different stuff. It's done, you're divorced, he's free, you got jack and will not get jack off your ex-husband even if he does win the lottery.
