Recently I have a conversation with my friend and found out that her husband only put his name down on the property that they both bought together years ago (as she also put some money to decorate the whole house). Her husband said the house is his as he is the one work hard to pay for it. As far as I know her hubby is a very ambitious career man and my friend used to be a housewife staying at home to look after their two kids for nearly 15 years. My friend says she is about to take some action as their kids are getting older and will leave home soon, she may lose the better chance to fight for the half property that belongs to her in the coming 1 or 2 years time. If you were her, will you take any action to fight? How do you think this type of issue?

If I were in her position, I would definitely fight for my rights. First of all, I would never let this happen! I make sure things are done in the right manner, I mean, that I am also a part of what is going on in our lives. After all, Marriage is a 50-50 partnership, right??? I dont think it is fair for the husband to say that he is only the one who is hardworking just because he is working ! Being a house wife, taking care of children is a Full time job. It is not easy as people think ! If a woman is staying back home to look after the children, she is also puting the base of her family. Someone has to take care of the children, to be there when they need someone, right?? Anyway, In my opinion whatever is done in a family should be done with everyone equally participating in it.

True, I totally agree with you. I wonder how her husband felt if he swapped the role with his wife. Would he accept his wife only put her name down on the property?

yes, i do think that she shd fight for her rights...she should not depend on her husband....she should hav thought of this before investing...but know if she keeps quite he may do this again...and she,ll always be dependent on him...

Thanks for sharing your view. I don't think she wants to depend on her husband, but there is always someone has to stay at home to look after the kids.

Her husband is a selfish one, our property are all under me and my husband's name, even if my husband is the only one who's working before, as far as i know even if the property is under her name or her husband's name it's still a conjugal property, any properties invest between a marriage years are all under conjugal property so it only means that both of you are owner even it is under your spouse name. For me not important at all whether the name is only under my husband's name, as long as my child is mine, but i dont want to it happen we are happy of our marriage and my husband is not as selfish a her. But they can still fix that in a nice way just for their childrens sake.

Very well said, I have the same thought as you. I try to comfort her although she is a very understandable person. Because at the bottom of her heart, she won’t feel ease with the way her husband treats her.
