End of marriage

This morning I found out that yet again my husband has been seeing another woman. We moved into a new house that is mortgaged only 6 months ago. My son is 2.5 years old. I will be getting legal advice but can anyone tell me what my rights are house wise? Neither of us can afford the house on our own but it is unlikely to sell anytime soon as it needs a full re wire and is likely negative equity as we haven't had it long

I would stay long enough to get the house rewired and in a fit state to sell as its in both your interests to do this.

See a solicitor asap, but its likely the house will need to be sold unless you can take over the mortgage.

Most couples like a clean break, and with only child maintenance being paid, anything else is unlikely.

Maybe make an arrangement with H to help with the mortgage as its a home for DS?

A lot depends on his salary and yours, but spousel maintenance is a thing of the past or for the very rich.

Thank you. I was thinking it would be a case of cutting my loss and selling ASAP. I think a clean break may be the best
