Divorce Question

[theviking51]

Hello. My wifes mother who is retired is possibly going to leave and divorce due to break down in married.
they have been married for 51 years. raised 3 children.
they have a house all paid for. He has told her she can have half of house but he also has a good private pension and savings. one is roughly £100,000 in isa. He thinks by taking her name off the account she wont get any of it?
Is both entitled to half of all?

Not enough info there to give an answer IMO. If I was her I would be getting proper legal advice before she says, does or agrees to anything.

o god no I will wade in and give an opinion even tho I got it completely wrong on equity a few days ago

yes I think she should get half the moolah as of right
and it seems to me that she should sign nothing without a lawyer being in the room. To take the name off the ISA I think they need HER signature so she should keep her fountain pen capped

I did say to her to photocopy everything to do with accounts etc just incase he moves something or denys. they are both in their 70s
