Need advice for splitting of matrimonial home

[jennie61]

Hi,

I really need your help and support for this. I don't know what to do...

I and my husband have been separated for 10 years, because he was unfaithful to me. When he left the family and my two children, he paid maintenence and house (thru cPF) for only a few months, then later nothing for the rest of the years.

we did't divorce beqcause of the house. the children were still young, and i wan to keep a roof over their heads.

Because he did not contribute to CPF, his payments to the house stopped in the first year. So for the last 8 years i haev been paying CPF on my own on a $1000 salary even though his name is on it... i thought i can pay until my daughter finishes school, and she take over the CPF payments for me...

After i approached him to change name on the owners list, he now demands a divorce and he wants a 50-50 share when he did not pay for 10 years!

is there a way for me to pay back only the money he pumped in for the house, and take over the house under my name completely?

Please, i will appreciate any advice. i'm realli at my wit's end... struggle so long... i don't know if i can carry on.

thanks.

I think u shd refer to lawyers. Estimate price ard 2k or more. And if you have all the proof that you have pay for the housing then you will also have a strong case.

Dont wait.

If i'm not wrong... usually part of the profits from the sales of flat will return to your CPF of whatever amount taken out from there.

Do gather all your evidence and documents on how he had contribute to the family, kids and housing. Not only in money sense but also responsibilities as a husband.

Btw, now there's also new rule from the HDB that 50% of your cash profit from sales of flat need to go into CPF too. So best is to consult a lawyer.
