8 weeks pregnant and getting divorced

4 replies

My husband and I are getting a divorce. He’s cheated throughout the marriage and has become very cruel towards me. He’s moving abroad in 3 months and wants to sell the house. I don’t want to sell the house as we’ve only been here 2 years so little equity and also it’s going to cause me a lot of stress as he wants it sold before he goes. He’s going to stop paying mortgage from next month but he knows that I cannot afford the whole mortgage on my salary. He earns 3 times my salary. Can he just stop paying mortgage? Can he force me to sell in 3 months? Do I have any protections while pregnant? Has anyone applied for a litigation loan, if so, how easy is it for loan to be accepted? I’m feeling very nervous about the future. I would have hoped that he would continue paying at least until the child is born but he says I’m on my own and he owes me nothing.

I have no practical advice to you OP but would like to say your STBXH is a b*stard and in the long run this will turn out for the best. Good luck to you!

See a solicitor
yiu need to apply for maintenance pending suit - basically an interim financial agreement while you sort out diviorce
he can’t just up and leave and force a sale

do this asap as the mortgage company ultimately don’t care who pays if you hold a joint mortgage as it’s joint and several liability - so if he doesn’t pay they’ll expect you to
