I am engaged and we are now starting to think about a date for the wedding maybe at the end of the year or sometime early next year.
I bought a house last year where I paid 135K from a road accident compensation claim from which I have a permanent injury and my partner paid 20K. The house is in my name.
If the unfortunate happens and we divorce somewhere down the line, will my partner get half the house? Even though I paid well over 100K more.
I just want to know if there is anything I can do (prenup or have the house in a family members name) to assure that I would get my 135K back if the relationship failed somewhere down the line and had to sell the house, as I would need this money to purchase a home for myself. I could not afford to hand half the value of the house over when I paid so much more than my partner.
I know it isn’t too romantic thinking about this before we even get married, but I just want to be safe and not have to lose tens of thousands of euro that I got because of a permanent injury that I received due to a road traffic accident.
