and i thought i would ask you lot where she might stand legally. she shares house with him, his mortgage, she not on it anywhere. they have son together. she wants him to move out and her pay mortgage. he says no way off you go. is there anyway she can make him? i rather think not, he is a pig but not violent, she pays no rent, works p/time. i think shes a bit stuffed, but wanted to ask if anyone had any ideas. i am mainly butting out, just being there for her (actually i think he is horrible to her and she should go asap, he is unfaithful, disappears for days etc etc. - but havent said i think she should leave) any advice i can pass on? she has been to cab and seen a solicitor who told her to stay put and try to get him out, not working. thanks
