Stbxh stopped paying morgage months ago without me knowing threat of bailiffs and house repossession

Hi everyone
My stbxh was paying the morgage while we sorted our divorce out (decree nisi was granted a few weeks ago) I messaged him asking for a settlement and received a letter from his solicitor saying that he stopped paying the morgage last july (without my knowledge) and that the morgage company will prob be in the process of repossession of our home and it was noted that "The bailiffs will come and evict you and your DD" my daughter is 14. I was married to him for 13 years. The break up was down to him and he hasnt seen our dd for well over a year.The house is in his name altho I have done the land registry.
It states in the letter that If I agree to put the house on the market within 14days my ex will call the morgage people and ask them to back off until while the house is on the market.
I was told by a solicitor last year that we have every right to stay untill dd was 18 but I didnt see this coming!!! I'm scared to death now.
Is there anyone that could offer me some advice please?
Thank you in advance x

Guessing he can't afford it presume he's paying rent else where
so out of his wage rent , mortgage and child support. If you've been adamant that you want to stay there for near 4 years doubt he has any choice.

if you can’t afford to stay there and he can’t afford to pay mortgage and his living expenses ( which 99.9% can’t at least not for years) you will have to sell the house and move out.

I don’t know what solicitor you have, but the woman doesn’t just automatically get to the stay in the house. He has a responsibility to provide for you child including housing but so do you.
