Getting overseas partner/father of kids to leave my house

[TP345]

I have been in a relationship with an overseas national for several years and we have young children. The relationship broke down a long time ago and he has been unemployed for a few years. Several ultimatums have passed nothing ever changes. I own the house and pay for everything - this was never intended to be the set-up - he was meant to be earning. I have asked him to leave the house - he is refusing because of the kids. I need to get him out of the house as it is not healthy. I would rather not go nuclear but I think I need to withdraw my sponsorship of his non-married relationship visa. Has anyone been through similar and can advise on steps to force him to leave the house please? He spends hours on computer games, has cheated on me, does not pull his weight around the house etc - I should have done this sooner. He does school pick up and drop offs but can't be trusted to properly care for the kids by himself though due to poor judgment. Any advice greatly appreciated.

If he’s not named on mortgage or tenancy you just tell him to leave. If he refuses you can get the Police to remove him.

When he takes the children to school can you not pack his bags and have the locks changed by a locksmith whilst he's out? Then you go pick up the little ones at home time?

What country is he from?
Is he on their birth certificate?

If he's from a non - Hague convention country, put the kids on a do not fly watch list and ask the school not to release them to him.
If you aren't married, call the cops and have him removed once kids are at school.

ditto above. move their passports, get them on a no fly list. you may think he wont, but in reality he might just do this to spite you

in reagrds to the house you can just chuck him out

what would happen if you revoked his sponsorship?

does he have any friends/acquaintances etc he could stay with?

does he ever leave the house?

Have you taken legal advice? Even just citizens advice?

He is American/Trini and is on their birth certificates. I had a look online and it seems that even if he doesn't have any property rights I can't just change locks/throw him out?
If I revoke sponsorship he would have to apply for stay or leave. He has drifted away from his friends so doesn't have anywhere he can stay or the money to rent somewhere or apply for an independent visa. I suggested he goes back to America and then comes back when he has sorted himself out - eg has a job - but he is refusing.

Call the police and have him removed.

I guess you need to look at it as what penalties are there for chucking him out. It sounds like he is financially abusing you - is there any kind of police info line or domestic abuse charity you could call for advice? I think you may be within your rights if there is domestic abuse.

Do you have friends or family who can stay with you over next week or so, so you have support in dealing with him and aren’t on your own for any confrontations if you choose to kick him out.

if you’ve asked him to leave previously and he hasn’t, I’m with the others, you have no choice but change locks, get advice on your rights and get him out of your house.

Is that not the premise of sponsorship though? That you are financially responsible for him so you can’t just change the locks? I honestly don’t know but I’d imagine withdrawing your sponsorship is probably the best way to go, so he has to apply and prove his ability to support himself.
Such a mess, hope you get the answers you need and get a speedy resolution. He sounds like a milestone
