Just need to know. If a married couple divorced, who gets the
flat? Or how will they decide? If the husband hasnt been working
for donkey years and cant afford to pay the bills, will the flat be
given to the wife? All along its the wife who have been paying the
bills and such whereas the husband just rot at home doing
nothing.
No kids in the family. Both kids are grown up adults.
The story says "flat". "husband hasnt been working for donkey
years cant afford to pay the bill,"'Both kids grown up adults"
May be HDB rules apply, maybe not. It also gives a clue as to
who pays the flat, the maintenance, and the length of stay in the
flat.
Still general equity rules apply. CPF monies come under CPF
rules, and retentioin of HDB flats come under HDB rules. Who gets
what comes under equity, whether of the property or sales proceeds
of the property, after statutory requirements.
The odds are stacked in favour of women. Its either their
property or they get a share of it. The classic "Whats mine is
mine, whats yours is negotiable" scenario.
Must get good lawyers. Some times the lawyers are buddies
themselves, and they negotiate for their own convenience. They
don't fight hard enough.
