im in the middle of going through a nasty divorce. I can’t afford to buy my ex out of his share of the house so plan was for him to buy me out and keep the house. Because I’m only working part time, even with the equity from the house as a deposit, I can’t get much of a mortgage. I’d need to move into somewhere quite run down and further outside the city. My one year old has complex medical needs and it would mean him having to change doctors and nurseries. His current nursery are aware of his needs and trained on his epilepsy care plan etc.
whenever I tell people about this situation they think I’m crazy and have said that I shouldn’t be leaving the house. That ex should be expected to let me stay even if I can’t buy him out. Are they right? Has anyone else been through a situation similar and what did you do? Would it be possible for me to take over the mortgage payments with a view to selling when our son was older?
I don’t think this would go down well with him and I think he’d flat out refuse to leave. Any advice appreciated. I don’t have any family in England to go stay with and I’m stressed about having to manage all this on top of my son’s medical needs.
