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 ?

Exactly, Tiger - you sort it out before you divorce, to prevent all this dirt being dished afterwards. Read what you've pasted: you will lose important rights to make any claims on property or finances. The property doesn't belong to your ex, so you can't claim from him. You haven't divorced your in-laws, they are nothing to do with it. They've been more than...

don't you find the mix of text speak, gibberish, legal speak and occasional lucid English hard to keep up. will you consider it a result if you get 200 posts.
Why can't you just rent your own home. Fresh start, etc.

Well if I get this,for free,what's the point
Grabby little madam then?
Tiger, don't bother with lawyers your case is so weak it has zero chance, a lawyer will just cost money for nothing. Get down to the council housing office 1st thing tomorrow morning and tell them what has happened to you. but tell them ALL the facts straight away.

Tiger ,for about the 20th time
'' You lost your chance to get the house free when you divorced the owners son''
The promise (if there ever was one) was to you as part of a couple not to you as a divorced woman who was once married to their son.

Not grabby just getting wht I deserve
You said you had a note from the hospital, then you say you didn't have a note. You say it's your parents, then it's not, it's your ex's parents. Your story's not consistent.

You are getting good advice from the people on here who are qualified to know the matter, but you keep throwing extra bits in, and nobody thinks you have a chance of getting "a house free for life". That's not the way it works - something for nothing. You have done very well in paying no rent for 15 years, that's an amazing saving.
Question Author
At that time could I have got something then
Why do you deserve it? Don't the in-laws deserve to get their house back?
NO I am not a Barrister, but i can see you have no case here.
Are you sure you're divorced? In the original question, you said you are separated - that's not the same thing at all.
You don't deserve it, what have you done to deserve it? Get a job and rent your own home, have some pride in yourself and show your children what a positive role model looks like.

Ok your saying when my decree absolute was coming b4 then I should have raised this issue
Question Author
I am divorced
Speaking as a parent, if we were to make some vague promise to our daughter and son in law, then they divorced, I would consider that my daughter was the recipient of the promise, not her ex!
No, well before then. When you were consulting your solicitor about the terms and conditions of your divorce, before you applied for it, who was going to have what, who pays for which bills, where each of you would live - and so on. Those of us who've been divorced have been through all this - you each make it very clear, once the decree absolute has gone through, that's it, nada, done and dusted.
look guys....I might get suspended for this but i think this lady lives under a bridge....nuff said?
