pls can some in this field or someone with knowledge about this help me.

My partner who's go acquired brain damage just walked out on me & our 2 kids. She under a lot of pressure because our just got repossessed. She gone to a fried but won't tell me where but says she's fine where she is although she a bit paranoid l it seems.

We only just got back together and she told me she took a loan for business using the house as security and it all went wrong but won't give me full details only the eviction letter. She said the council will see her as intentionally homeless and will dig into her financial affairs which she does not want and that she called the council and they were aggressive on the phone rude.

I have nowhere to go as I + kids are currently in an Airbnb paid for for a couple of days by a friend.

I Dont work due to bad inflammatory arthritis on both knees and ankle.

I want to call the council but am worried they will ask me questions about the house and loan and how and y or was repossessed etc. All of the info which I do not have or know because she did not share it with me at all. I Dont know what's she's got to hide that might get her into trouble or if she's just paranoid because of her brain damage.

I am thinking since it's my application for myself & kids they will only need my own financial details, an eviction letter from the court about repression but I Dont know if they will ask for more details of my partner's finances. The last thing I want is to get her into trouble or push her over the edge.

If you're separated and making a homeless application in respect of you and your children, they shouldn't look into her financial history.

Please contact Shelter.

It would help your claim for council support if you can clarify to Shelter what interest (if any) you had in the house you shared with your partner.

Is it the case that the house was owned in her sole name, you have no legal or beneficial interests in it, you were not a lodger, you simply cohabited together there?

@TheCatThatWalkedAlone. thanks. Yes, she owned the house in her name solely and I only cohabited in it with her and our kids.

@LakieLady thanks for the reply. So I thought but I want to be sure because I Dont want any trouble for her or make her health worse.
