Property And Mortgage Entitlements

Summary

Property ownership remains with the legal owner unless transferred. Mortgage payments alone dont grant ownership rights. The ex-partner may claim support due to shared child. Consult a family lawyer for detailed advice on property and family law matters.

They were 20k in arrears for the mortgage, I have since moved in and I'm now paying $* a week to continue paying the mortgage while he's in jail plus to account for the arrears left by him and his ex - what am I entitled to and what is she entitled to?
Hey Gina! Here's some general information on entitlements in such situations:
- Property Ownership: Since your partner owns the house, he retains ownership unless otherwise legally transferred.
- Financial Contributions: Your mortgage payments might not automatically entitle you to ownership unless an agreement exists.
- Ex-Partner's Entitlements: As they have a child together, she might claim financial or housing support for the child.
For a detailed understanding, it might be beneficial to consult a family lawyer specializing in property and family law. Would you like guidance on finding legal help locally?
