My mum is in a terrible relationship and finally has seen the light and wants out. The basic circumstances are that she lives in her own home with her emotionally abusive alcoholic partner. She has asked him to leave and he doesn't take her seriously and doesn't go. She has now got herself a new job in a new area and has her house up for sale. This is her best chance to leave him but she still doesn't know how to get him to actually go. I've said she should call the police but does he have any rights to live in her house. I think he pays the internet bill, she is trying to get this back into her name. Is there a process she needs to follow as if he were a tennant? He's lived there a couple of years. Also could he mess up her house sale as adults living in a house that's been sold have to sign to say they are willing to move out on completion don't they. He will the to make trouble for her if he can. Any advice much appreciated.
