Hi. Im currently divorced from my husband but we still live in the same house with our 3 children. Up until Friday our house had been sold and everything was going through nicely. I found a lovely house but now it's all on hold. I obviously need the house back on the market asap but my ex husband is refusing to put it back on the market. Does anybody have any advice or leagally know where I stand with this?

Many thanks x

I should also add that he is very controlling and likes to play mind games, he has always has been like this. I think this is another of his games to take control of the situation as I have found a house for myself and the children and he has not.

Whats written in your consent order?

I havent done consent order yet, whats that.

Its the order for how the finances ate yo be divided, who gets what if money, pensions etc and would include the details about what happens to the house.

You really need-one and should not be selling without one. Did you divorce without any legal advice? if you sell and go on to buy a house he can comeback and claim a share of your new house later because you don't have any order. Talk to a solicitor today about what you need to do so you protect yourself

Oh, and without an order you cannot sell house if one owner doesn't want to.

We have only got the nisci so far am waiting to sort finances and house etc before absolute, but this is where we are stuck as he doesn't want to sort this, he just wants me to get absolute which i am not prepared to do. I paid for the divorce with a solicitor, he paid nothing. But this could cost me thousands now which i don't have so am looking for best way forward that isn't going to cost me too much. I would love my share of the house now, he remained in it as i left, due to his unreasonable behaviour, aggression etc.

Your options are agree finances via mediation, lawyers, or ask court to decide . If you cant do 1, and cant afford 2, then you have to do 3.
