writes:dear cupid, I sadly lost my first wife 16 years ago age 58, I also lost her sister age 56 who was a widow, life can be a pig, I met a lady 9 years younger than myself who I regrettably married 12 years ago, the marriage has never been consummated because she was raped by an uncle as a child who was sent to prison. I thought that after we were married and settle down to a life style that she couldn't even dreamed of things would be alright, I live a life of depression and would like to know if there is a way we could separate without having to sell my house that my first wife and I struggled to buy.i would be grateful for any advice that you can give me Reply to this Question

He/she will tell you what your wife is entitled to. Its not just your home thats looked at when divorce settlements are made. It is all financial assets and pensions too. I retained my home after my marriage broke down. I bought my ex husband out with a settlement payment and he signed his share of the marital home over to me. It can be done. All the best.

 Highly unlikely. She probably will be entitled to half the house and monthly maintenance especially if she is not able to support herself or has children, I would viist a good divorce lawyer for an informed chat.

The house is a premarital asset so technically she has nothing to do with it. Although in order to satisfy the divorce separation of things u may have sell to pay her off

It's unlikely. You've been married for some time, so she might be entitled to something. The best thing to do is speak to a solicitor.
