Is my ex entitled to my property?

[shaylah]

is my ex husband entitled to make any claim against a property I now own, inherited when my mother passed away? we have been seperated over 5 years not divorced

[LoftyLottie]

Was it ever in his name?

[shaylah]

hi no it was never in his name only my mothers

[hc4361]

Did he live in it as the family home? Did he contribute to its maintenance in any way?
How long were you married? Does he have assets of his own or is there any other joint assets?
When did you inherit the house?

[LoftyLottie]

I would say 90% certain that he has no claim on it then. But don't take my word for it.
He would have a claim on anything that is in joint names still.

[ummmm]

I will up Lotties 90% to 97%

[shaylah]

since we seperated i have a new partner and he lived in the house with me and my mother, my ex never lived in the property. When we split the property we had jointly, was sold and everything split evenly. he doesnt have any assets and never paid any maintenance for the children, but the did stay with him a few nights a week if i was in work. We have always been amicable over things but now he has a new girlfriend and he seems to have changed, and Id just like to know where I stand on the house

[LoftyLottie]

My 90% has now been upped to 99.999%

[shaylah]

thanx for your help.. puts my mind at rest.
The only thing we have still in joint names are some debts and he is wecome to those

[ummmm]

Don't worry Shaylah....

[ummmm]

I bet he doesn't want them though..!!
