Can She Claim Half The House?
My husband's best friend and his wife have just split after 4 years of marriage. Neither has any children.
During this marriage he's loaned her around £16k to set up her hair salon and for their trip to Australia last Christmas.
It turns out he owns his mother's house (she's late 70s) and basically the wife is saying she has no intention of repaying the money she owes and if he tries to recover any of the money, she'll go for half his mother's house.
She has previously been blacklisted and has brought no assets into the marriage.
Can she legally make a move on her mother in law's house which is in her estranged husband's name?

hi baby doll
my view is yes she can
and he should bite her hand off if she is not gonna go for the house.
I can see why they are getting divorced
and he/they both need to see a lawyer if this sort of argee-bargee is how it is gonna be. [ but dont litigate all that does is fill the lawyers pockets with his moolah]
husband and wife loans are in a special category anyway. Sounds like a good deal to me
[Bearing in mind I am not a divorce lawyer]
