OK,

I have questions and require some sort of advice.

Wife and I been together for 14 years married for 2

Her feelings seem to have gone and she doesn't want to work things out despite me offering Relate and the like,

We have some issues to sort out

  1. We have a council home and both on the Tenancy and we both said we will stay in the house (we both know eventually it cant last forever) My Question is Can she force me off tenancy in anyway (Except going to Court)??? I must say i have done nothing in anyway to harm or threaten her so as it stands is quite chilled.
  2. We have 4 Children from 2 -> 13 Years old. I would never stop my wife seeing the kids if a major split happened however there is a condition where my wife sleeps an awful lot during the day to the point it could be 12-16 hours. I have been managing the kids 90% of the time while she is sleeping. Its an awful condition that is slowly getting worse for her and its horrible. Question is this if she attempts to keep the kids full time id need to take her to which court (This is assuming talking has failed of course)

As you can appreciate this is a minefield and is crushing for me as i am decent man who wants to save his marriage (But cant) and protect his kids

Thanks in advance

I'm sorry that this is happening to your relationship.
As for the house if one of you leave you voluntarily make yourself homeless (not a good position to be in to try and get rehoused) Nether has anymore right to the property than the other. Nither can evict the other as you both have a legal right to be there. Do not let anyone force you out of the house. As you have said you will have to try to live amicably for the time at hand.
Have you suggested marrage counselling to her?
Family Court would be the answer. Be open honest if it comes to that point.
I hope you can save your relationship 💐

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can navigate to an outcome that will suit you your wife and the children. If it is the end of the relationship, start sooner rather than later n the process of splitting, then you can all start to heal.
Inform the housing you are splitting and who ever is leaving put there name back on the list. It may take a while however your housing office may be able to assist. I'd suggest whoever is going to have majority of custody to keep the family home.

Housing officer should also be able to signpost you to other services in your area that will be able to advise you properly.
