My ex and i split 3 years ago when i was pregnant. We own a house 50/50 and when we split he continued to pay half the mortgage until i returned to work following maturnity leave - and nothing since (>2yrs ago).
Once i was back at work he requested to sell the house and threatened to take me to court but i said i would use the child protection act to protect my child's home, he stopped paying the mortgage and nothing more was said about it.
His GF (OW) is pregnant and he has now raised the subject again saying that HE will use the child protection act to force the sale of the home, i said no and yesterday received a letter from his solicitor stating that i have 28 days to to state my intentions before they start court proceedings.
I have an appointment with a solicitor on Monday but i never slept at all last night worrying about it - i am unable to get a decent mortgage on my salary, i can't afford to buy him out and now i am having to pay for legal fees!!! I have only recently got over all the turmoil of finding myself a single parent and now he is putting me through this - has anyone else been in this situation and can offer some advice?
