Response to why can one partner walk away from a mortgage contract without being chased for the money ?

I can advise you that she needs to seek urgent advice from a solicitor. My husband went off with my best friend and I applied to the court for what is known as a complete break order. This means that at no time whatsoever can he ever come back for anything else. Unless your father or your mother remarry then even though they are divorced one or other of them can come back - my solicitor told me of a case in the 1970s of a couple who had no children, divorced, he subsequently made a great deal of money, she came back 20 years later and got a large settlement. The courts at first refused my clean break order under the grounds they thought I could not afford it but after proving to them that I could I eventually paid my ex off for a lot less than half the value of the property. I would hazard a guess that if your father is 'conning' the system as you say he will be very reluctant to head for the courts. Play him at his own game, tell him all his financial dealings will be available for the court to see, if he is on the swindle I would suggest he will not hesitate to sign over the property without even going in to a courtroom!
