    I’m wondering if this is illegal or not.
    Before I got married to my wife, she bought a townhouse that we both live in now. The house is still in her name (maiden name that is) and so are the bills. Since getting married she has changed her last name to mine. Now I haven’t applied for the FHOG, could I apply for it with our next house?

    call the ATO – when filling in the form, there are ertain conditions that you need to meet – try getting a copy of this form.

    My advice is to apply for the FHOG anyway. besides, what’s the worse that can happen – your application simply gets nocked back – no legal issues though.

    Kind Regards,
    George.

    I think you will be comitting fraud if you apply for it – you will need to make certain declarations which I think you cannot make truthfully. I don’t imagine that to be the way ahead.

    Did she get the FHOG already?

    Check out the links to your state administrators on my website and see what you think.

    Just checked on your link MortgageHunter and we can’t apply for it. Thanks for that.
