I need to leave but don't know where to start

Name change for this, I'll try to give as many details as possible but I am scared of being recognised.

My husband has a problem with alcohol, drugs and lying and it has just got to the point where I can't take it anymore. Unfortunately this has come as we are just about to buy a house. My name is on the mortgage but not on the deeds to the house. We have had the mortgage approved but have not exchanged yet.

Apart from a processing fee I haven't actually paid anything into the house or deposit (basically a SAHM) so my question is, can I pull out now without being financially responsible? Will this affect any claims for financial support for me to find my own place?

I'm hopefully going to see a solicitor but I wanted to know if anyone had any advice on here as I'm feeling very sick and anxious with not knowing. I'm terrified of the whole process 😔

I'm sure you can pull out at any time before exchange of contracts without repercussions, other than losing cost of surveys you'd had done and what not. Can't see why it would effect anything in the future.

Please please get out of there before you're financially tied to this man.

Thank you @Wickedgames. I hope that the sale goes ahead for stbxh as I'm worried that me not being on will affect the sale.
