I'm trying to find examples, but can only find ones on the Internet where millions of £ are involved. Not really my world lol.
I'm wanting to secure the house for the children for at least until they're 18. But its so hard to find anyone who has been done this. Thanks.

Sorry I hadn't finished writing it when I had a fat a fat finger moment.

This is what its meant to say...

Has anyone tried to secure the family home for your child under schedule one of the 1989 childrens act? and if ao have you succeed or failed?

I did this a few times. I more frequently threatened it as it can be a useful tool in negotiations.

The reason it isn't used more often is that the father needs to have somewhere to live too, so unless he can comfortably afford to allow the children and their mum to remain in the house for several years, whilst rehousing himself, the court is unlikely to grant an order.

Look at the arithmetic and if your ex can reasonably afford a schedule one order, then see a solicitor to take it further.

Thanks for your reply mumble chum. It sounds like you're saying the court will put the fathers accommodation needs before the kids. Is that right? My ex can easily rent somewhere, he would just prefer to buy. Im not asking for a financial contribution to the mortgage, I just don't earn enough to get it trsnfered to me.

Unfortunately, when unmarried parents split, family law doesn't apply to property in the way that it would under a divorce, so you are on much thinner ice than if you'd been married.
