Thanks for the advice i was given by many of you, some was harsh but all fair. i am one hundred % decided to leave wp and just wondered. we have a house down south with a tenancy on it for six months. we have a mortgage on that but covered by the rent. we currently live in a house which he and she co own. his mum didnt want me on the deeds. have i got a hope of staqying in the house or am i going to have tp put up qith him. we live in an expensaive area where i would need to stay for kids. i can rent but will need to save ferociously i can see it ending up with him living in this lovely house and us 4 and a dog in a caravan :( i thought that i could suggest he could move into our house when the tenants are out and i dont ask for maintenance.
Im not sure that hes going to be nice though x

Don't know your back story but much will depend on whether you're married, and if so, for how long.

Who are "he and she"?

If you have paid towards the mortgage you would and can prove that you would only be entitled to half of his half. I doubt you will be able to stay in the house. The best way forward would be to put the rented house up for sale and use the equity to either buy or rent yourself another property.

sorry - we've lived together and have three kids together been together 12 years, but hes become very controlling and emotionally abusive, really shouts at the kids. I cam on here a bit a go asking what people think i should do. the he and she are dp and mil - when we moved we couldnt get a house as ours wouldnt sell, so mil kindly bought a house for us the plan being to buy it off her. but the present was on the strict instruction that my name was not on the deeds. i pay th mortgage, he used to look after the kids ft xx

Unfortunately, because you aren't married, you aren't entitled automatically to as much as you would be if you were.

TBH there are various options open to you, eg an application for a declaration of trust and an order for sale on the home which you occupy but it's not straightforward and you really do need to see a solicitor face to face. You may be entitled to public funding - look on the legal services commission website, eligibility calculator first. Then find a local family specialist on the website www.resolution.org.uk
