I left my abusive husband beginning of November. We have a house together which I live in with our two kids. I work part time and he was the main breadwinner. We have two cars and we have kept one each. One has finance left on it. Since he left he's paid half of the mortgage, half of a loan we have, maintenance and he's paid his own credit card and I've paid mine. He is a builder and we started a company together in 2020 which has done fairly well. Our house has building work to be done and he is refusing to do it even if I offer to pay for materials. He keeps coming in the house when I'm not there and slowly taking stuff like art work for example. He has kept a key. I have to block him because I get abusive messages if I don't. One day I got so many and I was at home with our poorly son and he didn't even ask how he was. I'd taken the day off work to look after him. I had to unblock him again yesterday because he had been in the house and moved my stuff. I then had a load of messages from him saying that I have to pay half his credit card bill and half the van finance. Do I have to do this? I still get bank statements for the business and he has been so irresponsible with his spending. He is also renting a massive house in a very rich area. I have uped my hours at work and got a little part time weekend work at the local pub too. I've worked hard to pay off my credit card and don't ask him for half of mine. I was trying to avoid wasting money on solicitors but I think I will have to get one now. He's doing this because he's lost control. Because he thought I would be lost without him and I'm actually doing okay. It just upsets me that he wants to destroy me
