Buying a house where i am still married but seperated

[kronoSX]

The question i would like to pose to the lawyers and attorneys on this forum
Is there a way or law or something that the ex can sign to say that while we still married but separated for 3 years i can buy a house and she cant get half of it.the divorce is pending and we are still married on paper.

I have moved on and the divorce will take 3 months and i will be buying a house in this time.

IANAL :

Firstly you need to look at what matrimonial property regieme applies - if you in community of property (the default position) then the starting point is an equal division of assets.
Secondly if you are getting divorced you have settlement negotiations in any event the deed of settlement will override an automatic division.

You should already have legal representation on record if the divorce is "pending" they shouldn't have difficulty recording that the to be purchased house is to be excised from other property for the divorce.

Go speak to your attorney and not to some unknown person on a tech forum! WTF this is a important decision. We can help you if you want to know which Mc'Donalds burger special you should buy tonight but with really important issues is another story. I hope this helps.

Whats new, they always like to control the children if they can't control you anymore .

Have you considered buying the house using a Trust?

True. I've had the first fallout about our daughter with my ex since our divorce 12 yrs ago about our daughter. Had to remind her we are no longer married.

I'm personally not afraid to stand my ground as a good mate of mine is a family court magistrate and he put me at ease about possible future maintenance claims (always paid maintenance since we separated but I was afraid she would want to squeeze me for more)

I used to wonder how it feels to be in that situation. Emotionally draining I tell you.

Here is an example, say i have shares in a company and my shares pay out September,my soon to be ex wife cant touch this RIGHT.

Depends when you aquired the shares...and what agreement was in place at the time. Some of these guys are spot on. Find a real lawyer.
