Hi all, just looking for any advice. I will be speaking to citizens advice etc but for now, thought I’d come to you guys.
Id like to separate from my partner of 12 years. We aren’t married, we bought a house together years ago (both of our savings paid for deposit) but my name isn’t on the mortgage as I was a stay at home mum at the time & the mortgage advisor advised us to add me on later, which we sort of forgot about & it never seemed important to.
Now years later, things have changed & I want us to split. First choice would be for him to move out so I can keep the children in their routine, but he’s refusing. He has more options of where to go than I do, Also this house is close to our children’s school & I'm the primary caregiver as I only work part time.
He hasn’t used the “your name isn’t even on the house” card but I’m very aware of it & not sure I have a leg to stand on.
any recommendations or advice?
