Will his debt affect me and the house

We have been separated for 3 years but did not get a lawyer to do the legal document as both of us can't really afford.

Ever since he moved out 3 years ago, I have been staying in the flat (under our names) and we have been paying for the house loan using our CPF. He has lost his job recently and his CPF can only last the most 6 months for deducting the house loan. He is in debts all these years and now without any income to pay off, most likely he will have to declare bankrupt.

I am very worried at my end and need your advise. I am totally at lost now and I'm so scared that I will have nowhere to stay.

1) If he declares bankrupt, will his creditors come after me?
2) If i file a separation / divorce now, his creditors won't be able to ask me to pay, right?
3) If he declares bankrupt, can i still continue to stay at my house
4) I need to wait for another 3 years in order to get my own 3-room, but i'm not considered a single, should be a divorcee, will I be able to get 3room before 35?
 


Hi Springleaf


Creditor will not go after u even u are still his wife even without divorce.

Is ur flat under hdb loan? If yes,u can still stay in ur flat.The only thing is creditor have right to go and sizure his belongings under his name.

Ofcos u can buy a 3room flat after u divorce with him but have to depends on ur income.

Hope this help.
 
Thanks Leeyh, I'm just worried that if creditors come after this house, i will have no where to stay.

None of his belongings is the house..
 
Springleaf. Leeyh is rite. dun worry unnecessary. Your HDB flat is protected from your hubby's creditors.. They cannot seize your hdb flat unless u r on landed property or condo.
 
Springleaf, try legal aid. its a dollar for their consultation and they can advise you on the divorce proceedings. If they decided to take up your divorce, it will be a fee of 300. however you can write it to appeal and ask for the sum to be waive. hope this helps
 
Hi

no need to worry about those creditor..dont make urself so stress...nothing will happen to ur house.since none of his belonging is in the house.

Take care!!
