I filed for divorce a couple months ago, after a few years of giving another and another chance and hoping things would change. We were living in the same house( his house in his name and also a member of his family has a share in it too) he received my petition and spent the next couple of weeks being verbally abusive to both me and dcs and finally I had enough when it became physical so I called police then left with dcs. We are staying with family and he is in 'our' home, since he has removed the belongings that are mine and he does not want, a couple of which are broken, he is withholding the nice stuff(that is mine), he is now dismantling my furniture and putting it in the garage. I understand its his property but we have not come to an agreement yet over anything, we are supposed to be going to mediation but I fail to see the point as he is quite obviously going to live there and has not given it a thought. I have alternatives if I have to find somewhere to live but it won't be easy. If this goes to court will a judge really rule that he can live there while dcs and I have to rely on the housing allowance and find a property to rent? I just want to live there for a few years for dcs sake then move on and he can have his house. Any advice much appreciated, thank you for reading:)
