My husband and I are going through divorce finally.
He walked out of our matrimonial flat 8 year ago and we had not seen or contacted each other since.
He filed the writ of divorce based on more than 4 years of separation which I fully agree that it's high time that we officially part. But it came as a shock when he asked for 80% of the flat which we agreed on 50/50 when we decided to separate.
He made the claim based on his cpf contributions. He had indeed paid 80% and I, 20%. But that was the only thing he paid throughout the years.
During our marriage and after separation, he has never contributed a single cent in cash. I had single-handedly paid through my nose for the renovation loan, furnishing, utilities bills, groceries, home maintenance, conservancy charges, phone bills, cable tv subscription, air-con servicing, all the way to simple things like toilet rolls and meals. I had to even pay for his bills and gave him money whenever he asked for.
I had stayed in our matrimonial flat for the last 10 years and had faithfully paid off all the bills and maintenance for the house. And after leaving for 8 years, he came back with a huge surprise asking for 80% of our flat that I had maintained for the last 10 years just becos he paid more in cpf.
I seriously need sensible and legal advise.
Please help.
Thank you!
