Can I expect my ex to be my guarantor?!

[girlplus]

Exactly that really

Moved in with my boyfriend and it hasn't worked....verbal abuse getting worse and worse

I've said I'm moving out but every place I've looked at need a gauantor
I don't have anyone I can ask apart from my los father ? We were married but split 4 years ago
He's now married and when I asked him before I ended up moving in with my boyfriend
He wasn't keen...saying he didn't want his new wife upset which is understandable
But I have to ask him as I have no one
My mum said he is her father and he shouldn't have a problem doing it ?
But I feel so awkward
When we split 4yrs ago he was my guarantor and I afford it fine with my tax credits and my wages but now he has a wife he said he wasn't keen
I hate I have to ask him
I feel very ashamed and I'm hurt at what my boyfriend has put me through but I need to move out ASAP
So much to sort out but once I have a place I know I'll be ok
I'm just hurt and sad and dreading asking him....

Thank you last 2 posters, made me feel lots better as feeling very crap.

I'll look into that shelter thank you.
Asking him will be my last resort
Thing is we are on good terms, he's a good dad and we are extremely amicable it's just the fact he is married he said his wife wouldn't like it

Yes I can offer to pay a few months rent upfront

Don't ask. He's already told you his wife wouldn't like it.

Try the CAB...Council.seek advice from Women's Aid.

Yeah I can't see me asking him
I'll see if I can get somewhere without asking him

Nope it's unreasonable.

He is the father of ure child if he did it before and u paid ure rent he should do it again to get his daughter away from abusive relationship go and ask to speak to him and his wife explain the situation then they are both agreeing to it not just him try get a private landlord not an agent or go to women's aid xx

Wouldn’t his becoming your guarantor create a link between your credit score and his?

I get what some PP have said about making sure his daughter is housed, but there are some potentially big implications for him if you end up defaulting. I know I’d be very reluctant to do it for my exW.

Under these circumstances, I’d neither ask or agree
