Hi has anyone been in the position that their ex is issuing court proceedings to force the sale of the family home? I've been split with him for just over two years now. We were not married but together for 13 years. We have one daughter together, who he hasn't seen since he left for a married woman. I have had non stop threats from him and his solicitor for the entire two years but stayed here so my daughter could finish primary school. His solicitor contacted me 2 weeks ago asking for immediate sale of the property, but the past year as well as his grief I have been trying to get treatment for her as she has a leg length discrepancy which is causing her great pain, her knee dislocates all the time, she has stopped doing any kind of sport because it's too painful and may need an operation at 12 to cut her growth plate. This was all explained to us both when she had an operation at 9 months after being born with no hip joint. So he is very aware of this. I have kept him informed through the two years sending his solicitor school reports, exam results, photos and medical reports but he has chosen to ignore them all. I believe it is his girlfriend stopping him having any communication with either of us. So over the past year I've tried to get my daughter's health issues dealt with. I had to transfer hospitals originally because he used to cover her under his company private health but that all left when he did. I only work part time to fit around school hours so cannot afford it. Initially the nhs were great but last year after her knee starting dislocating we waited 8 months for an appointment, it kept getting cancelled, my doctors wrote 3 letters to say it was urgent due to her history. These were ignored everytime. When we eventually got the appointment the surgeon misdiagnosed her and said he wasn't worried but she needed physio on one knee. The physio appointment either never was referred or got lost so a year later we were no further forward. Eventually after contacting my local MP twice and her writing to the chief executive of the hospital we have seen a wonderful doctor this week who confirmed her leg length discrepancy and she has started physio and is being measured for an orthotic so this sale comes at a completely bad time. She is also starting senior school in September. I asked his solicitor for an extension of time to stay in the house until her hip, leg, knee is more stable and they responded to say he is issuing court proceedings within the next 14 days. The fact he has a new mortgage with his girlfriend in excess of £240k and earns £100k a year is unbelievable that he would do this at such a crucial stage in her life. I work 20 hours a week and for the first time ever get tax credits. He is also applying for 50% of the equity and me to pay his court fees? What are the chances of him winning this? It's been a very very stressful 2 years already but I've got through it. He does pay child maintenance payments as I went to CMS after he refused for the first 5 months.
