Is my wife entitled to half of the house if we divorce? She ran up massive credit card debts. LocalSolicitors.com

My wife ran up credit cards to about £60,000

It is great to hear that you managed to get divorced and resolved the financial matters amicably using mediation. What should have then happened is that the agreed terms were put into a Consent Order, and sent off to the Divorce court with a short financial information form and court fee of £50, to get the terms made binding on you both. Then you would have needed solicitors to prepared formal Transfer Deeds to effect the transfers of property - which are registered with HM Land Registry.

It is not clear how much time as elapsed, but I would strongly suggest you now take tax advice (as well as legal advice) as there can be tax implications of transfers of property - even between spouses.

It make seem complicated but it should all be possible of being resolved with paperwork and no actual court hearings.

I hope this helps.
