Hi I'm new here and just wondering if anyone that has gone through this could help!
I seperated from my husband in May 2008. We are still living together as he refuses to leave and I have nowhere else to go (we have 3 children). He won't sell the house as he says it's his home why should he have to sell just because I want a divorce. I have been told by my solicitor that I won't get it as I won't be able to pay the mortgage and/or bills. (I don't work, I'm a stay at home mum). I have been to the council and they say legally they cannot give me a house as I already joint own a property. And if he buys me out of my share then I will have too much money for me to be elligible for council housing. I then went to the CAB for advice and was told the only option I have is to get my share of the property and then rent privately until I run out of money, then the council have to re-house me. Which I don't want to do as then clearly I'll have no money and 3 kids that depend on me for everything!(Although he will have to pay maintenance) I'm running out of options and I can't continue to live with him for much longer as the tension in the house is making me ill and affecting the children. He threatened to throw me out in front of them a few weeks ago. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can go from here???
