Property

I own a property in my name that my ex wife and children live in. All mortgage and bills are paid for by myself.

Now my ex wife has applied for full child support and claims I do not see my children. I cannot continue to pay for all outgoing of a property that she benefits and child support payments as it does become financially difficult. That said, happy to support my children financially and hope something can be mutually agreed.

My ex wife owns another property of her own, but will not move back to her own property and earns 60K a year.

We are divorced and all home or matrimonial rights charged against the property have been removed , which my ex wife applied without informing me and intercepting the land registry letters that I would have received a few years ago.

I would like her to vacate the property as she does have her own home and children would have a place to live without issue.

I have not read of similar situations where the mother already owns their own property, is in a well paid job.

  1. Is it realsitic or is there a way to remove her from the property. For example a occupational order or something similar if she does have her own property? Or in such cases, its unlikely or impossible.

  2. As I am the owner of the property, can I put it up for sale with an estate agent?

Was there a financial settlement when you divorced?

No financial settlement when we divorced.

would that also mean if no settlement , the ex wife cannot sell her own property that she owns, if I am not able to sell mine?

Oh dear. If there was no financial settlement then this is harder. You are still one legal entity financially. You need to sort that out asap. You both have to split all the assets. Then you can evict her.

In the meantime time stop paying anything but the mortgage (as that will effect your credit) get your name off any other bills as you don't live in the property.

You need to see a solicitor and get a financial settlement sorted out. Lack of a settlement does not necessarily prevent the properties being sold, but it needs to be sorted out otherwise she could make a claim on you.
