Sister want a seperation partner won't leave

[user1466158442]

My sister and her partner have 2 kids. She owns the family home outright but he did all of the renovation work on the house. He has made almost no financial contribution to the home in the 6 years they have been together. He is not really a house husband either as my sister still pays for childcare 2 days a week. She wants to seperate, arguments are escalating and it is affecting everyones mental health - but he doesn't want to leave. He is a good Dad and she wants this to be fair all round but without her having to sell the house just to get him to leave.

Tell her to change locks and deal with the consequences later. Remember she has every right to the house. He should put in a claim for how much he needs to be billed for the renovation.

Your latest post indicates he won't play nice and your sister has every right not to put the house on the market unless there is something we are missing. When people talk of sahp you expect them to do the majority of housework and child care which he doesn't. he had money and still didn't contribute financially to the family.

Police won't want to get involved - they'll wave it off as a civil matter. Too much paper work for them.

If he's not on the deeds then he's effectively a lodger and therefore has very few legal rights. Reasonable notice is required but that can be 24 hrs

Thanks for all your feedback. Looks like the next step is legal advice whichever way you look at it. It is good feedback though, she has tolerated this situation for far too long and it will be better for them all in the long run. I just hope it doesn't get too nasty because at the end of the day they both love their kids.
