Hi
i really need some advice as to where i stand regards mortgage divorce and kids.
Currently im still in the family home although i cant remain much longer.
I have 2 children from a previous relationship (i have residence order age 12 and 11) 1 child with my wife and 2 step children. All living in the family home. My wife has blown off and told me to leave and take my son with me as she hates him but not her step daughter my biological child. Now as much as i want to get out of this [censored] hole and allow piece for the kids i truly cant afford to go. I have no family or friends who could take me in with 3 kids in tow. The fact is this is my and all the kids house not just the ones she wants. She is being vile and creating arguments and making it as uncomfortable as possible for me. Telling me to go now but i will still be responsible for all the bills,mortgage etc etc. The mortgage is solely in my name as her credit rating didn't allow her on the mortgage. Don't get me wrong i will always provide for my kids but im being held to ransom. How can i get away with my children(her stepkids) and maintain 2 propertys...impossible... Also why should i have to leave its my house and my kids house as well other than for sanity and peace for the kids. This has gone on to long i/we need away one way or another. Where do i stand what can i do..solicitor said i should keep paying to keep her sweet. Now i don't agree on this
p.s. My son has autism so i would also have to pay for a carer.
Hi jon38,
Welcome to DAD. I'm really sorry to read about the situation you have found yourself in.
I have moved you post to this board as I think you will find it is the best place to get advice about your situation.
Gooner.
I'm not sure that I can give any advice, but I'm certainly not happy with the advice your solicitor has given. I'd go along to the Citizens Advice Bureau and consider dropping or changing your solicitor.
