I'm posting this on behalf of a family friend.
He's a retired 72-yr-old and in the middle of a divorce
(to a Turkish lady he was married to for 9 years).
At one stage he thought he was going to lose the house he's lived in for 50 years and owns outright (worth 90K),
but it is looking increasingly as though he will get to keep the house
but will have to pay her between 15K and 25K
(not sure why since she's already taken his entire 25K life savings whilst they were married, but who am I to question the law).
He wants to know...
(a) Since the house is not part of the deal, can he legally give it to his daughter or at least sell it her for a trivial sum?
(b) If so, if his divorce payments thereafter become late, will the courts then make her give the house back even though she legally owns it?
