Hello,
I feel I'm in a catch 22 and don't know which way to turn.
So I seperated from my husband 9 months ago, he's living with his parents and I'm in our home with our 2 children.
He has said he is willing to pay half the mortgage until youngest is 18 (8 years to go)
Now my conundrum is I feel he will have some kind of control over me and the house if i stay but if we sell and half the proceeds I cannot afford rent here. My mortgage is much cheaper. Yet hed have no say over my life.
I work full time and am on an okay wage but cannot afford mortgage and bills on my own let alone the extortionate rent that is charged around here.
I don't get much universal credit so not sure if I'd get help with housing benefit.
Has anyone had experience with selling the family home and starting over with nothing?
