Hi all. Bear with me, as this is long.
Stbxh and I in the process of divorce. He wants me to keep the house for the sake of our 2 children. Currently both our names are on the mortgage, but he is not paying anything - I pay half and my new partner pays half.
Understandably dh wants his name off the mortgage.
Not sure what to do. This is where it gets tricky. I don't think I earn enough to just have my name on the mortgage, and sadly my new partner is on a debt management pay back scheme (bloody ex partner never paid him back 40k after a failed business venture) and has a low credit rating, so will probably not be able to get a mortgage, even though he can well afford it.
So, any ideas what my options are??
My friend mentioned that when her friend was in the same boat, she had to get her Dad to act as a guarantor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am literally sick with worry.
Thanks
