Hi all,just looking for a little bit of advice from anyone whose been in a similar position.So for some context to the issue ,my ex husband has discovered he is terminally ill. We have one DC 11 and are in the middle of divorcing he has a new partner who he lives with.
We haven't told our DC yet ,they live with me full time and see him a few times a week, for this reason ex and myself have decided to tell DC together in the next few days.
As well as the worry of how to break the news another thought I have had is about legal issues.
I stayed in the family home and instead of maintenance he pays the mortgage which is about 480 a month.
As we jointly own the house am I correct in thinking he could leave his share to new partner ? If this is the case could she then force me and DC from the family home?
I'm really worried that being moved and the situation with her dad would be too much for DC.
I haven't broached this with him yet but for obvious reasons but wouldn't mind some help in regard to this.
Thanks
