Separation-mortgage help and advice?

Hi, I’m just hoping for some advice from anyone who may have been in a similar situation because I feel completely lost and out of my depth.
im a 29 year old woman and I’ve been with my partner since I was 17, we had our first child when I was 19, married when I was 22, we bought our first house when I was 24 and had our 2nd child when I was 25. Our relationship hasn’t been easy to say the least and as the years have passed I have come to realise that I have been controlled financially and emotionally and more recently physically abused. In the last 3 years I have tried to leave several times and I am now on my final attempt after a physical attack, I am in a position where I can leave the mortgaged property and move into a private rental with the council, my only concern is that if I leave, I will lose my rights to the equity on the property when it sells. Has anyone had this issue before and what was the outcome? Thanks you

Well done for getting this far and taking steps to create a safe environment for you and your kids.

You will not lose your right to the equity in the house by moving out, it will be considered a marital asset which are generally split 50% each.

You should speak to a solicitor ASAP. You can usually get an initial chat free, it's important that you take legal advice on your position

Best of luck.
