My mother-in-law is going through the tramua of deciding whether to
leave her husband and get a divorce.
She is very unsure about her legal position ( in England ), i.e. If she
leaves her husband will she be entitled to half of the assets, or
because she has left home will he be able to keep everything?
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance
Steven

I would imagine that the answer in England is the same as it would be in the US, only the terminology is different. She should seek professional legal counsel. Nothing you read here is guaranteed to be accurate. In the US, the answer would differ from state to state. Steve | |||||

I can add 0.5% of value. Its certainly true that the man has to allow the woman to live in the 'family' home as long as she wants. Thus if she leaves this right is given up. I am also sure that she can force the sale of the house if a divorce is processed. Only a little help ... Trevor | |||||
