Response to Can they touch my husband's house?

I'm not totally sure I understood your question. If you mean you are living in a home whose mortgage entirely in your husband's name, no they lender can't touch it. You are still liable in full for the house that is being repossessed.

Being as poor as possible after repossession will help you fend off any claims that are made against you in future. Ie, keep your husband's income out of any claims that are made against you and increase your own outgoings as much as possible so that you are living in the red, so to speak. But only if a claim is eventually made against you.

Hope this helps,

Lee
