I would appreciate advice on this.I am separated for almost 5 years(not legally) and am looking to get divorced.
The process has been ongoing for almost 2 years without resolution.
One child is under 18 while the other 2 are receiving social welfare and living at home.
The family home has been valued at 190,000 euro by an auctioneer with 25,000 euro remaining on the mortgage.165,000 euro positive equity.
My wife work's full time.
In order to see a quick end to this process can I..

1.Give my wife my share of the house.
2.In return for this can I get her to end all rights to maintenance,pension,future earning's,succession right's,basically sever all ties and right's to me.

Any thought's or advice..

Thank's
 
I would have thought that your minor child is still entitled to child support regardless of any agreement between yourself and your estranged wife.

I can't understand why you'd be willing to walk away from €95k for the sake of €12500. I'd be more inclined to pay €12500 off the mortgage and be entitled to a full 50% share of the property - push for sale once the minor child reaches his/her age of majority.

As for your pension, it was my belief that once you are divorced your ex has no claim to same - although I don't have any legal background to draw on and my only experience is being divorced myself. Maybe the legal eagles could give you more info.
 
You can make the offer, but she will have to agree. Have you tried mediation?

If you can't agree it will be up to the judge in court.

That's lovely, there are 3 children of the marriage living in the house. Their home.

OP is your wife able to support herself, giving her a house if she has no income is not going to support the child/children.
 
My thinking on this would be influenced by the current economic climate..i.e. her ability to buy me out.I wouldn't sell the house from under my kid's as it is their home too.
As I said before she work's full time and can maintain herself.
I want a quick and,as is possible divorce.

I wasn't suggesting that OP sell the family home out from under his children as callously as you made it sound ...by his own admission, 2 of his 'children' are adults.

One child is under 18 while the other 2 are receiving social welfare and living at home.

Can you clarify who has been paying the mortgage while you were married and since you seperated? Also how much maintenance you have been paying since you seperated.

What is blocking this going to court straight away?

Do you have a solicitor? because these sound like questions he/she should have addressed a long time ago. If you do not have one get one and agree a price for their work up front.

The mortgage was paid from a joint account into which I ALONE contributed.She didn't work at the time.She took up full time employment only in the last 8 year's.
I pay 150 euro per week maintenance.She pay's the mortgage herself now.It is a very small amount each month.Not more than 200 euro.
She will not engage with any corrospondence with my solicitor.Ignore's all letter's sent to her.
