"Is it possible to keep the property in my name by paying the amount I have done for own contribution."- what you want to ask is not clear.

Do you want to mean that you want to keep the property in your name by paying what is equivalent to the 50% of the property? If, yes, Then you can pray before the court, if the court gives you permission then you can do that.

If, no, then what is your question, kindly mention clearly.

Hi, you have to file a suit for declaration that you are the absolute owner of the property and your wife has no contribution in the property purchased by you. So if you able to prove your funding of the amount to the property and there is no contribution from her end then you will declared as absolute owner.

Under Goa Civil Code the wife receives 50 percent share of assets not liabilities from the husband so wife cannot be asked to share the loan as the code is enacted to take care of women when after divorce they can look after themselves.

In most of india there is Civil code and personal laws different from goa under which wife does not have right on property but in case of goa they follow Portuguese law of 1961 which provides them the 50 percent of share of matrimonial property so here after divorce if property is transferred in your name than your wife by order of court without sharing liability shall take half share of your property though in case of this flat you can content before court still in liability so the property can be excluded. I may sound harsh but this law to protect women righrts after divorce in Goa.

Further for law of succession for goa is different than other India and Goa assembly recently passed a Act called The Goa Succession, Special Notaries and

Inventory Proceeding Act, 2012 for people of Goa under which there are two succession available

Section4. Types of Succession.— (1) Succession

may be intestate or legal and testamentary.

(2) Testamentary succession is the

succession which results from a will left by the

estate leaver and a testamentary heir is a heir

instituted by a will. Contractual succession is

illegal, except when expressly authorised by

law.

(3) Intestate succession is either free or

forced. Forced succession is the one which is

reserved by law to the forced heirs and places

restrictions on the freedom of the estate leaver

to dispose of his estate.

To insure that no property goes to your children you can make a will or gift on name of other family member.

Also please kindly step wise discuss your Query as law applicable in goa is different and I can help you step wise with the same with clear facts as of status of divorce and status of property and applicability of acts.

Under Goa Civil Code wife automatically becomes Co-owner of husbands property on marriage it is irrelevant who purchased or paid for it

Hi,

It is also possible that you get her name removed from the loan and have the complete property on your name.

If it is self acquired property you are not obligated to give it to children. Yes liabilities bare also shared with rights.

/There is no question of paying market value or circle rate value for the share in the property.

It can also be decided about the repayment of loan and sharing of the same

The repayment amount can be divided equally and the same may be deducted from the amount to be compensated to her.

All other related issues can be agreed mutually by talks and discussions before filing the mutual consent divorce.

But of course all these can happen only after drawing all ther terms in a MOU and to be mutually agreed.

The court will not interfere in the mutual agreement on all such issues.

Property is under my name and I am the only one paying for the installments. As this marriage is under Portuguese act in Goa so as per that law the wife is 50% owner of the property.

If the property was bought after your marriage then she may stake a claim in the property as per the prevailing law in Goa in this regard.

Is it possible to keep the property in my name by paying the amount I have done for own contribution.

You can ask her to agree for the compensation in lieu of the share in the property, if she is ok for that then you can proceed.

Secondly what happens in case if husband wants wife to share the liabilities also if she wants a share of assets? Ain't that a rule that she should share the liabilities also??

The asset sharing shall always be after the liabilities are equally calculated and settled.
