Hi
Me and my ex have 3 young boys together and separated last year. We jointly own a house where there is equity for us both.
He's using a solicitor - i am not as cannot afford to as the little ones to care for.
I can afford to get a mortgage in my name and pay him a sum of around £20 - £24k - he will be entitled to potentially £40 k but I cannot afford to give him that at present.
I don't want to move as there is £5K cost for indemnity, and at least £5k for selling.
Equally the little ones will be unsettled emotionally - they are struggling enough as it is, I wont be able to buy a 3 bed again and renting runs the risk of huge instability for them,
I am wondering if it comes to it could I make a claim under section 1 children act for transfer of property or to stay here for a period of time.
I am happy to pay what he is owed but cannot pay it all right now?
Thank you
