in divorce assets thread STDW said: "The children will also spend time with the other parent so he would need somewhere suitable to live where they can visit/stay/live some of the time."
so if never married, how much repsonsibility is there for me (children residing with me under court order - i work) to share assets on sale of property so that ex (NRP) has a home suitable for dcs to visit him?
is it my responsibility?
to ensure he has a suitable home?
he doesnt work so has zero income. he has promised to get lodger to pay the mortgage but has only had one for two months in 2.5 years.
he cant cover the mortgage payments on the joint owned flat he living in. he underpays the mortgage payment to joint accoutn from which mortgage etc goes out (i have other spearate account).
i have date in sept for first hearing under TOLATA and childrens act to sell up and get my share so i can buy a prperty for myself and dcs (I am currently renting while he resides in joint owned home).
with my share of equity released i would be able to put down deposit buy somewhere on a mortgage.
he cannot get mortgage as no income.
he cant get HB for mortgage currently as it joint owned/joint mortgage.
he cant have it transferred to his name only as no income.
(he would presumably have to pay out equity released on rent before reaching level to get HB?)
