What would I be entitled to if my husband divorced me?

Question

My husband wants a divorce and he reckons I would not be entitled to half the house because of my infidelity and my name is not on the mortgage. We have been married for 10 years.

Answer 1

its actually probably going to be 65-35, in your favor.

your a woman, thats why

Oh, and he probably makes more money(ii presume because he has the name on the house) so you get the benefit

Answer 2

do not move out..because that will make you at a disadvantage. depends on your state but i think it would be split with the house and it doesnt matter that you cheated.

Answer 3

In most states infidelity is irrelevant. It plays no part in the settlement. Not sure on the mortgage but I would doubt he's as safe as he thinks. Get a good lawyer. He will go through all the assets and debt. Usually things are split 50:50 and most recently the women are making out pretty will with alimony and child support. Good luck.  

Answer 4

unless you signed an agreement, you're probably entitled to half, get a good lawyer to make sure

Answer 5

i reckon your husband could get a good attorney and cause some problems due to the fact your name isnt on the mortgage. maybe he had it before you, it may or may not matter.

Answer 6

It depends on your state laws. If you live in a community property state, half of everything belongs to you. If you live in a state that has a divorce system that finds fault, you may not get much because of your infidelity.

Answer 7

depends on if he bought the house before you were married or not. only assets aquired within the marriage are split

Answer 8

Go to the Citizens Advice Bureau (assuming you're British).  People are usually entitled to half of what was gained during the marriage. Infidelity is irrelevant.

Answer 9

it depends on your state - if in florida try to stay in the marriage for at least 2 more years - as after 12 years you become eligible for alimony.....

Answer 10

In most states you will get 50/50. Infidelity has no part in it.
