After divorce

typicalirishlad · 2024-04-23 19:41:23

Broke up with my wife, house solely in my name. If I meet someone else and they will move in, how do I protect myself from getting caught to pay out again. I doubt very much I will marry again, want to keep home for kids. If I meet a new partner and they move in, how do I stop them having claim on house

The answer is, you lock it up in a cohabiting agreement. Not very romantic, but in your circumstances, a good idea.

https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/birth-family-relationships/cohabiting-couples/property-rights-cohabiting-couples/

"Couples who live together can choose to enter into a cohabitation agreement (also called a cohabitant’s agreement). This is a signed contract setting out your financial interests if your relationship should end (including what will happen to certain assets, such as your shared property)."
