Ducks in a row

[Moutainwoman]

Hi all, I'm a long term reader of active threads in mumsnet but have never posted before.

I've read with interest all the LTB threads and 'get your ducks in a row'. I've never really understood the need to get your ducks in a row since it is a legal requirement to disclose all financial information etc.

However I now find myself in a precarious position, I left the property after a 999 call, police advised to take only what I and my son needed for a few days. They promised to return to the property with me at a later date in order that I could collect anything. They have since refused to escort me in to the jointly owned property as it is a civil matter. My solicitor has advised they could write and ask for him to be out while I collect my belongings (no chance) . The locks have been changed, joint account frozen I don't know how to contact e.g. Mortgage providers without my account number etc. I need to do balance transfers to tide me over this, I don't know how to contact them.

Please people, get your ducks in a row

Hello OP. Sorry no advice but didn't want the read and run. Hand hold for you through this difficult time. 💐

If you are joint tenants on the property or married you have a right to go back into the property. Speak to your solicitors and don't give up. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

Hi

What were the the circumstances around the 999 call? How old is your son? Where are you staying now?

I work for a domestic abuse charity and I hear all the time about someone being prevented from re-entering the family home after a incident. The freezing of accounts maybe considered financial abuse.

Have you sought any further legal advice? Did the solicitors say anything about seeking an occupation order? The best interests of your son need to be considered and the court may look at that.
