Partner refusing to pay

[Eeeek1]

Looking for some advice please (D!)P
has decided to stop working (self employed) so 0 money coming in from him. Everything house and bills wise has always been 50/50!
This has now been going on for 8 months and I cannot afford it any longer I can’t afford 100% of everything.
We have one DC
The house is on the market desperately hoping it will sell but no luck as of yet.
He simply refuses to work / contribute any money. He is in a terrible financial situation but my concern is our home our bills.
When we sell I want to be able to start again on my own so mindful of my credit rating.
What do I do? I simply cannot find the money any more. I spoke with the mortgage company and they can help for 6 months but after the 6 months if the house has not sold the repayments will increase to cover the period of help which worries me in case things are not sorted in 6 months il be in a worse position. Do I write to mortgage company and say I can continue to pay 50% as with the other bills or do I let everything default?
Can’t get through to DP at all. He refuses to work and refuses move out, says the house is still his. I just cannot believe it has come to this. I’d be grateful of any advice. Just want to be out of this horrid mess

Unfortunately you won't be entitled to decuct anything from his share of sale, as he owns 50%. The law is not interested in who has been paying the mortgage, only in ownership. It's shit but unfortunately it's how it works😕

Who made you Head Prefect? 🙄😆

Eeeek1. Sounds to me like you are doing the best you can, you're a good mum. I hope you find a buyer soon. Good luck

How old are the dc @Eeeek1

It is possible to get an adjustment of sale proceeds in this situation but the OP would need to talk to her solicitor about that. It may cost more in legal fees than it's worth.

When the house is sold, make sure the money doesn't all go into an account that he can access. Tell your solicitor that you want your half paid into an account which is solely in your name - don't trust him to do the right thing if it's paid into a joint account.

Because we’re hearing one side of a story.

Would he agree to that?

I don’t understand what you mean- what difference would it make to hear his side of the story? (Which obviously, isn’t the way mumsnet works anyway!)
