I had a free 20 minute appointment with a solicitor to find out which forms I need to send off to the court to enable me to force the sale of my house.
I am nearly divorced (absolute due at the end of this month). STBXH, DS and me are all living under the same roof and it's driving me and DS crazy. STBXH refuses to move out or sell the house as he is claiming marital rights. he also makes absolutely no contribution to the mortagage, car or any utility bills, lazy sod.
The house and mortgage are in my name and I want to force the sale, divide the equity and move on.
I don't qualify for legal aid and there is no way I can afford a solicitor to help me through this as I'm on my arse financially.
The solicitor told me that I need to fill in and send off Form A, followed by Form E. There is plenty of advice on here and on the internet about Form E but I am really struggling with how to fill in Form A and I really don't want to mess it up.
I am struggling with which boxes to tick on the first two pages. Also on page 2 it asks "Please tick the relevant box below to indicate whether this application for a financial order includes an application relating to land" yes or no. Does land mean my house? Or does it actually mean land, as in a field because it then asks for details of any mortgages?
I am confused by it, struggling to make sense of it and I really need to crack on and send it off. I've done the MIAM bit and I am awaiting the return of that bit shortly.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to mess this up and look a fool in court.
