X Won't sell house

So left h in our family house - because of dv - and upon the advice of SS. To privately rent for children and I. Roll on nearly two years (where he thinks I'm going back - I hate the bloke let alone live in the house with him again) and after many requests to sell my asset to provide a home for the children - he still won't voluntarily. He has just signed up for a new utility company (the old one said goodbye in an email to my account) so has no intention of moving.

Some background - He pays maintenence and definitely not the correct amount (he is SE and threatened that he will zero his accounts to further shaft me and his children if I even go to CSA). Prize idiot I married.

Anyway, does anyone have any experience of the court process - how long and when it will be ordered to be sold?

We are in the throes of the divorce and he still won't sell voluntarily!

Lots of information here on CAB website.

Also worth dropping in to your local CAB who may have details of friendly local solicitors who will give you initial free advice, but this varies widely from one bureau to the next.

There is limited legal aid available in instances of dv but I'm not sure whether this would extend to dissolving joint assets. CAB could advise better or will refer you on.

No personal experience but didn't want to read and run.

Good luck.

Sorry - the link is for England, if you live in Wales/Scotland/NI then go to the homepage and select relevant one, and follow drop down menus Relationships - Relationship problems - Relationship breakdown and housing
