Husband moved out on Friday. We are joint tenants of a council property and have had joint tenancy for 19 years (2 councils as we did an exchange but just under 10 years here).
As I understand it, if he wanted to walk back in and force me out - he could. So as he left, I've asked for the tenancy to be changed to a solo tenancy. The council have asked for forwarding address and phone number for him as we'll both have to sign forms.
I asked him for his address for this purpose and he has requested I keep him as a joint tenant 'in case anything happens to you'... i.e. in case I die he'd be entitled to move back in with the girls. I didn't appreciate the picture he was painting to be fair, and said that the council would protect the girls if that happened and he'd be housed accordingly as their next of kin if he was unable to house them. He is living in a one room shared house property at the moment.
I went ahead and requested it. But now I'm wondering what happens if he refuses to sign?
Also AIBU? Or protecting the best interests of our 3 daughters and myself ?
Thanks for any advice / insight you can give.
