Looking for some advice.
When my partner and his ex separated, he decided to leave the property they shared together so that she and their kids could continue to live there. He has paid his half of the mortgage + child maintenance and allowed her to keep his car and everything seemed to be going well. His ex now has a new partner (who the kids seem to like and get on with) and she has decided to move in with him along with the kids.
The problem is she refuses to sell their old home or buy him out because she wants a back up home. She keeps coming up with ridiculous solutions. (Eg paying him over £50k in bank notes with no lawyers present to have his name taken off the mortgage). Every time he tries to bring this up she blames him for leaving and says she doesn't want to talk to him.
Any advice? He would rather not have to get a court order to force the sale if he can to avoid large bills/stress. I should also mention that he now has his kids 50/50 and does half of the school drop offs, lunches, after school clubs etc.
