End of A Relationship !!!!!!
My bro in law, after getting engaged at xmas after 7 years together, has just found out that his fiance has been sleeping with another man who she works with. They have been living together in his house for the past 4 years approx, there are no children. He has just been told tonight by his ex that she isn't moving out. as far as i know from what he has told me is that the mortgage is in his name only and all utility bills (electric, heating, sky/telephone) are all in his name. He has told her that he wants her and her belongings out of the house but she is refusing to move.
Does she have any rights, to the owership of the house, to stay in the house.
Can he change the locks, gather up all her stuff and leave it round to her parents while she is at work.
By the looks of things its going to get messy for him any help to clear up any of the above would be great, we live in Northern Ireland by the way I'm not too sure if the finer details of Law in N.I are different to that on Mainland UK.
Thank you in advance

Change HIS locks on HIS house and get on with his life. By the looks, she cannot prove entitlement to anything.
What would the police want to do about that? Nothing.

Did he own the house before she moved in?
Either way, she may be entitled to something in light of the contribution she may have made to the household. Just because the mortgage and bills were in his name, doesn't mean that only he paid them - far more information needed before any advice can really be given though i'm afraid...

Beaver....it doesn't matter if she paid anything towards the household. It's called living expenses. If she privately rented a house and paid the bills she couldn't then claim to have an interest in that house.
The only way she would be able to claim 'an interest' is if she had, say, a new kitchen installed, or a new bathroom etc...and could prove that she solely paid for it
