Please go easy. I'm in a dark place.

I am getting evicted from my property. The main reason being around I think my children's noise. The house has absolutely no sound proofing . I can hear my neighbour pee. yup. so really a family with siblings that argue isn't suitable. Im not excusing the noise. But giving context. In a normal family home, noise like this would be ok. I'm sandwiched between neighbours in a flat where you can gear every footstep. you can hear conversations. Unfortunately I have a separated DH who is an alcoholic and uses to be allowed in the house but he created too much noise. so he has not being allowed inside in a while. my poor children are traumatised by dad. This has resulted in them being angry and swearing . ( though my separated DH and myself don't swear and I do not shout ) I hate it trust me and cry all the time. I do all I can to get my 10 year old to stop. they are under cahms. They havebehavioural issues. and possible mental health issues. on top of this I acquired a disability 3 years ago and are basically the sole patent with no help . family out of country. It's been hard to manage with an alcoholic father, day regulated children and a disability which has been very debilitating. we are all moving home later this year but I just wondered if I can put up a defence against eviction. they are calling it anti social behaviour. Honestly we are a good,, loving , professional family that's just in a bad situation. Why we are mofingvhomevas I'll have family support and everyone will be happy. I'm literally drowning in stress and an inability to cope. I just want to stay in the house until we have to move.

Any solicitors that know any defence around a child with mental health issues /trauma explaining tye behaviour rather than labelling it as anti social?

Did they have one of those noise measuring machines?

You really need to take real life legal advice OP. I'd ring around some solicitors first thing tomorrow morning when they open. Good luck

You should ask for social services help and support. A social worker might be able to help you. I know they have huge caseloads but they may be able to access support or give advice or negotiate on your behalf.
