Short summary - My daughter husband walked out on her around a year ago. She has a young child living with her. She is in a part-time job. Her husband has been paying bills since he move out, although a few months ago she has been paying roughly half of the mortgage, he has not paid any maintenance. (she has not asked for it). She pays child care fees for nursery with no help and feeds and clothes the child. He wants to sell the house, it's in joint names. She can't afford another mortgage on her part-time money. Has anyone experienced this and any advice welcome.

I’m living through this atm. Husband walked out leaving two small children. He’s been half the mortage and giving me child maintenance. I am getting divorced, it’s expensive! By I’m keeping 60% of the house so have to buy him out. I also work part time and am claiming universal credit. Hoping to walk more hours in the future.
