Going through divorce after 25 years marriage, my husband owns the house which i've lived in for 26 years. My husband moved out 2 years ago, we have 4 adult sons all still at home with me. My sons pay their dad rent and I pay the bills with sons help. 3 sons are autistic and have severe anxiety, 1 of which works part time, the other 2 are unable to work. I am an unpaid carer on universal credit. My husband wants to sell the house. How can I afford to find somewhere else for all of us. Do we have to move out? Grateful for any advice.

Is there a history of emotional and financial abuse op?
Because I'm wondering why your sons are paying rent just to your exdh when the house is a marital asset.

You definitely need legal advice as you are going to be entitled to more than you probably realise and certainly more than your exdh will want you to believe!

Who is currently making the mortgage payments?
