Areas of Law / Divorce and Family

My husband and I are divorcing after eleven years’ marriage. Our bungalow is in my name only. Will my husband be able to claim a share of it since he has contributed to the running costs and done a lot of work on the house?

Where married couples are concerned it’s of little significance whose name is on the title deeds. It’s possible that your husband would be awarded as much as half the house, but the court will take a large number of factors into account, among them your respective incomes, earning capacity, ages and (in exceptional circumstances) the conduct of the parties. Where there are children their needs will be the first consideration. You should seek detailed advice from a solicitor who’s a member of Resolution, the family law specialists.
