I left my husband in Majorca and returned to England. The divorce was finalised last October. He owns several properties, and we have a villa worth a lot of money in joint names. He now wants me to sign this over to him. I don’t understand the Spanish law about this.
If your divorce took place in this country you should be able to apply for an ancillary relief hearing here to divide up your property, no matter where it is located. If your name is on the title deeds of the villa it’s likely that you are entitled to half its value, but, in the absence of agreement between you, the court will decide on the division of your assets. It’s likely you will only need assistance from a solicitor with knowledge of Spanish law if your ex-husband ignores the orders of the English court.
