My ex partner won't agree to the sale of the house. We have one child together whom currently lives in the house with her. She is on benefits and has no real interest in work life. This puts me in an awkward situation as we split up (not happy together - mutually) the mortgage is up in 6 months and I can't bear another year at my mothers at my age. It's not fair on my son. He deserves 2 happy homes. Advice on a loop hole? The bank my mortgage is with agrees I can go through court but I'd rather not put my son through that.
