I wrote this on someone elses post but i've had no feedback and i'm getting desperate. I don't know which way to turn. Been separated since last May, Nisi has been issued. My STBXH absolutely and totally refuses to move out. He is a DA to both me and my son, causing horrendous upset for us, everyday, it's like living in hell. I own the house, I am the only earner and I pay for everything, literally everything except the broadband and tv licence, both of which i can live without. STBXH makes no contribution to mortgage, car, insurance or utilities. Nothing. And this is supposed to be ok? It is FA and EA and he's getting away with it. Living under my roof, causing us harm and not paying a penny. He's a bloody sponger and a low life.
He could work but refuses to, probably because he'd be liable for maintenance if he were to get off his arse and work.
There's nothing I can do, but sit and wait, it's driving me nuts. Why do I have to pay for him using my gas, my electric etc. I'm in a huge amount of debt because of him, oh and he drives around in my car (because it's a marital asset) of which he makes no contribution to the insurance or tax and everytime i use the car the bloody petrol light is on.
It is very wearing and people saying there's a light at the end of the very long tunnel is not helping.
I have two questions.
- I pay the bills by direct debit out of my bank account but all the utility bills are all in his name. (The mortgage, car and insurances are in my name). Should I stop paying the utility bills?
- The car is apparently a marital asset. Worth about £8000. It is in my name, i pay the finance on it, the tax, insurance, service plan and constantly fill it up with petrol. Can i take his name off the insurance to stop him from using my car?
Thanks Mnetters.
