In order to obtain a suitable apartment, the couple "fake divorced". Unexpectedly, the woman was kicked out of the house by the man
The woman sued the man in court, and the court made a final judgment. The woman ultimately divided the joint property of the couple
The TV drama "Rebirth" tells the story of a couple, Shi Xiaofen and Pan Jun, who falsely divorced in order to purchase a suitable house. However, due to a report from a colleague, their plan to buy a house became a pipe dream, and throughout the process, the couple had many conflicts. Now, the real-life version of 'Rebirth' is being staged in our city. A couple who came from out of town to work in Dalian finally bought a house through arduous labor. However, driven by interests, they still want to find another affordable housing. So they privately reached an agreement for a fake divorce. The devoted wife fully believed in her husband's promise and did not claim any property in the divorce agreement, 'leaving the house clean'. Unexpectedly, when she returned from working in Singapore, she was kicked out of the house by her ex husband. Can she ultimately obtain her own share of wealth as she awakens from her dream?
My wife went abroad to work to repay her mortgage
Xiaohong and Li Gang (both pseudonyms) were middle school classmates who came to Dalian from other places to work. In 2003, after more than three years of dating, the two decided to get married. They unanimously believe that no matter how difficult it is, they must have their own home and house in Dalian.
They found a house in the suburbs with a total purchase price of 100000 yuan. Because the two of them were already inseparable and the money was placed with Li Gang, he handled the purchase procedures. The house was purchased in Li Gang's name and a loan of 60000 yuan was processed in his name. After buying the house, the two happily registered for marriage.
After marriage, facing a monthly bank loan of nearly a thousand yuan, this young couple began to feel a lot of pressure. In order to repay the loan as soon as possible, Xiaohong decided to work abroad with a few friends. So, when Xiaohong returned from struggling in a foreign land for three years, she used the money she earned from working to pay off the loan in one go.
I want to get a suitable house and get a fake divorce
Repaying the mortgage not only relieves the pressure, but also surprises the couple that the house they bought for 100000 yuan has now risen to nearly 380000 yuan. It seems that buying a house makes money faster. At this moment, some friends around them successfully applied for affordable housing, which caused a stir in their just calmed down life. The two of them discussed and decided to get a fake divorce for the sake of the house.
According to Xiaohongshi, when Li Gangxin swore that the divorce was fake, just to get a "suitable house", she had no doubts about it and believed that it was just a fake divorce. After they got the house, they would remarry. So they quickly processed the divorce procedures. As agreed upon initially, they will not leave home after divorce and will still live under the same roof.
Fake reality, the woman was actually kicked out of the house
Just a few months ago, while Xiaohong was still longing for a "suitable housing" to come down from the sky, Xiaohong, who had never taken divorce seriously, was forcefully "invited" out of the house by Li Gang. One day, Li Gang said solemnly to Xiaohong, "We have already divorced, and the house belongs to me. You have no right to live in it
Shocked, Xiaohong almost couldn't believe her ears. However, Li Gang's words were very tough, completely serious and not a joke, and Xiaohong almost collapsed on the spot.
What made Xiaohong even more speechless was that she hastily applied for a fake divorce because she believed Li Gang's oath. At that time, she did not care about the joint property, including the house and savings, nor did she request it to be written in the divorce agreement.
Xiaohong recalled that when she wrote the divorce agreement, she completely listened to Li Gang's opinion. Her idea at the time was that a fake divorce was just to get an affordable housing, and it didn't matter how the agreement was written. Therefore, they agreed in the divorce agreement: 'After marriage, both parties have no children, no joint property, no joint debts or claims, and their respective property before marriage belongs to each other. There is no joint housing after marriage.'. According to Li Gang's statement, the house belongs to him, and the money brought back by Xiaohong when she returned to China from work, as long as it is with Li Gang, is also his. According to this agreement, Xiaohong really has nothing left.
Xiaohong remembered that she had divorced in confusion for the sake of seeking undeserved benefits, but she never expected it to turn out to be a reality. Recalling the hardships she faced while working in a foreign land, she wanted to burst into tears, but for some reason, she couldn't even cry.
She had no choice but to live in a shared apartment after leaving the house, feeling hopeless and losing confidence in life at one point.
Lawyer's analysis
Marriage should not be used as a bargaining chip for economic benefits
Lawyer Liu Chunying analyzed the painful lesson that Xiaohong faced in the special divorce case she represented, which turned out to be a fake
Both parties jointly invested in buying a house before marriage, but only wrote Li Gang's name, while the name of the other actual investor, Xiaohong, was not written in the property ownership certificate. This created an insurmountable obstacle for Xiaohong to claim joint ownership of property rights in the future.
When handling the divorce procedures, Xiaohong and Li Gang are both citizens with civil capacity, and both parties have lawfully completed the divorce procedures and have already taken legal effect. Since then, their marital relationship has been legally extinguished.
From a legal perspective, there is no distinction between truth and falsehood in divorce. After divorce, both parties need to be willing to remarry, and because it is not a true divorce, it is inevitable that the property division agreement is unclear, which can lead to disputes regardless of whether the two parties remarry. If one party acts insincerely, the other party will not only lose property. In short, marriage should not be used as a bargaining chip for economic benefits, and one should not take risks with their own marriage. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
