House sale

Long story short my ex left last september so october our house went up for sale. I've remained at the address with my two children the youngest being his.

Ive been non-stop packing de-cluttering and moving things into storage.

One week to go until the move and my ex has informed solicitors he now does not wish for the property to be sold as he doesn't feel it is in the best interest of our child 🤔

My both children have literally a mattress in their rooms as we are ready to move back to my Mother's 😞 it's broken me

We've got until the end of the week otherwise the sale will fall through

If the sale doesn't go ahead I intend on remaining at the house and have the option of going to court to force the sale.

It's a joint mortgage so I know he has to pay that. Would I be entitled to CSA too?

It's such a mess so exhausting and me and my kiddies are now in limbo 😔

I know its all control with him but this is something else x

Have contracts been exchanged? In which case too late.

If not (simultaneous exchange and completion?) then there are always situations where the sale can fall through right to the wire.

There is no obligation for him to pay the mortgage if he isn't living in it. Mortgages are jointly and severally liable - the bank doesn't care who pays so long as it is paid.

If he is paying the mortgage whilst not living there then you'd struggle to get CSA as well

Contracts were due to be exchanged then he threw this low ball 😔

With his job he has regulations he can't have any unpaid debt too but I know this is just going to continue and he wont care about not paying

It would only count against him as a bad debt if you also defaulted and didn't pay the mortgage. Jointly and severally liable. But if you did that you'd also get a poor credit rating and then you are really in trouble for finding a finer mortgage or even someone to rent from

I know he's doing this as his last bit of control over me and the kids

Ive refused his mother having unsupervised contact with our son as she is in contact with my ex's brother who is on police bail for sexual offences against children he thinks im being unreasonable

Ive never stopped contact i just want to know my son is safe! This is why hes pulling out of the house sale so short notice I feel trapped by him 😔
