I’m in my 50’s now and have 2 kids at uni, I rent privately and it’s a struggle financially, my ex husband the father of the 2 at uni was left a inheritance of £250,000 and though we nearly divorced we hadn’t finalised. He said if I didn’t finalise then his family wouldn’t buy him a house. He was living with his mother and she was going into assisted living after a stroke. He had the kids every other weekend at this point. Although his mother did all the looking after. And years later my kids said he used to shout at her and make her cry. Anyway later on I found out he got left £250,000 so he bought a house for 180,000 which was totally unsuitable for the kids as on main road tiny 2nd bedroom. And from that day on he never had the kids , he spent years building an extension on. He sid pay maintenance as that was agreement when I finalised divorce. Years later he now lives in a five bedroom house in the country on his own and he has given up work and is on benefits. How can this be fair I’m angry as the emotional damage from our marriage as he was so angry and abusive , I’ve never moved on. Also the first house we owned when we got married was bought on my salary and I had a good job. I never could build up my career as I had his kids and a breakdown in my 30’s I had to sell the house as he wouldn’t help in any way to let us stay and his family put the deposit down and wanted it back although I’m sure he kept it. I had 3 kids under ten and was mentally not well enough to afford the mortgage. So we sold up but not enough for me to put a deposit down. I’ve tented ever since. His 2 kids are on the spectrum which is from him I’m sure. Anyway do you think that legally I could do anything as my kids are over 18 but they need financial help and he just sits in that house worth all that money with five bedrooms and signs on. It’s disgusting as I work full time whilst he does that. Any advice would help. He did say that he would leave the house to all his kids as one way of persuading me but he is always falling out with them and he may have to sell it for his own care home bills you just don’t know, it just seems all so unfair that he can get away with it
