Hello there.. Brief background to a very messy situation is that I have separated from my alcoholic and drug abusing husband. (Cocaine)
It's been very acrimonious all round. I have only allowed supervised contact because my priority on ending the marriage was to protect the children from the affects of his addictions.
I have reached decree nisi in the divorce but he refused to produce any disclosure to agree a financial settlement.
He was previously self employed but over the last year destroyed not only his health but our financial stability and his business.
He has refused to pay anything by way of maintenance for the children in 6 months. He also owes my family thousands of pounds.
I am paying the mortgage and all outgoings on the matrimonial home.
He stopped paying the mortgage on the rental property in August.
In early October he suffered a brain aneurysm which has left him with serious brain damage. He is yet to come out of hospital.
I am being chased for mortgage arrears on the rental property because I am named on the mortgage and am the only person earning anything. I just can't pay this on top of keeping the matrimonial home going.
I have no access to the business premises or the rental property even though I own them. His family have refused to give me even basic information as to whether insurances, council tax etc are being paid. I know if they are not the liabilities will sit with me. I recently had to insure the rental property which i really couldn't afford to do.
They closed his business down without consulting me at all.
My solicitor has written to his parents to try to get them to agree to take guardianship of him and agree to the sale of the rental property and the business premises. So far they have just ignored her.
Honestly feel like I am just drowning in it all. All I want is a fresh start but I can't seem to get out of owning these properties with him.
To top it all off, one of his friends (another addict) has just dumped an untaxed van on the drive of the rental property. I asked him to remove it and he has refused. He says he has my husbands consent. The police won't do anything because he is a known associate of my husband and the dvla have said its on private property so he's done nothing wrong!
Any ideas???
