Husband refusing to let me buy him out

[namechanged9999]

... as I said in the title. He's being difficult and we have to go to court for everything. Our house is not selling bc no one wants it and I'm happy to buy him out. He doesn't want to buy me out. Seems such a waste of money to go to court when I am willing and able to buy him out. He doesn't believe the court will make that order. It will, won't it? He says I don't deserve to live here bc I didn't paint any walls but I'm sure that's not something that will be taken into account. House is in joint names and we pay mortgage equally.

Depends on lots and lots of things. Not enough info given

My exH didn’t want me to buy him out. We did go to court as he was unable to discuss anything directly - he refused to say a word to me - practically stuck his fingers in his ears and said ‘la la la!

At court he said to the judge that he didn’t want me to buy him out as it wasn’t fair. The judge basically said he was a twat and that there was no reason I shouldn’t be able to buy him out if I could afford to at market value (which I could being the higher earner), and that it was best for the children to not have their lives disrupted. So I think if I recall it was actually written into the order. This was nearly 20 years ago.

@ThisIsStartingToBoreMe what other info do you need?

I assume there's a final order for sale? How long have you been on the market?

No I am trying to get an order but really wish I didn't have to as we can easily resolve this out of court. Been on the market for a month

So you don't have aformal agreement about your financial issues?

You need to see a family solicitor, then.

One month on the market isn't that long.
