This isn't me.
In a nutshell what's the option for a 71 year old woman who owns a property in her own name outright but allowed her estranged husband to move back in out of sympathy, not living as husband and wife but still legally married.
He's an alcoholic chain smoker who physically abused her in years gone by and now verbally abuses her so she leaves the house when he's there.
She gets state pension £600 a month and he keeps all his. The bills are in her name. She moved into the house when she inherited it in 2013 and invited him to share the house.
He's paid almost zero towards it but is entitled to half. He's horrendously verbally abusive over things like rising fuel bills and lack of money for drinking. He's 74.
What are her options? Would Women's Aid help?
