Separation / divorce after buying a house

[MachaMor]

My husband and I have just bought our first home. We live with our DS. My husband has said he wants to separate and divorce.

We've only lived here for 1 month so haven't even made our first mortgage payment. No equity at all. I would like to remain in the house with our DS. What will happen next? If he wants 50%? We/he have no savings.

Have this moved to Legal OP. You get lots of help there

You need to speak to a solicitor. Presumably the only equity is your deposit, which if split is unlikely to be enough for 2 purchases? In that case, if your DS is young, you probably have a case for remaining in the house as long as you can afford the mortgage.

I don’t have any advice OP. Just wanted to say I’m sorry he’s done this to you and your DS. Be kind to yourself and definitely get legal advice as soon as possible 💐
