[ Have been married to husband for 14 years. He has been gambling for a long time. Had given him ultimatiums in the past but we worked through and i beleived he had stopped and was attending GA. found in march he was still at it and wanted to end things, finalley got him to move out at end of may and filed for divorce. He is currently living with his sister and has given me two payments for half the mortgage although he has missed one. which i paid full amount. there are various other debts as well which i have paid. He hasn't given me any child maintaince but has been seeing the children regularly once a week. now his family have told me that i have to put the house on the market because he is not going to pay me another penny in to the house. she also said that if i phone him on his mobile he will not answer. don't know how i stand with the house they don't seem to care about the two children and where they will live. I just feel i am now gettingbck on my feet finacially and am waiting to go to mediation but it appears he hasn't filled in his financial statement and is any where near ready to go to mediation. they seem to be trying bully boy tactics and he is so spineless he has to let someone else do his dirty work. I am not prepared to discuss our divorce with his sister shouting the odds. Just feel scared and confused. I might not be able to get a mortgage even though i have been paying the majo rity of it and managing to keep me and the kids afloat and as normal as possible [img]

Hi from the sounds of it you are wasting your time with mediation as anything agreed while you are face to face will be changed once he got back with his sister.
the best bet is just go straight to ancillary relief if after one or two mediation sessions it isnt working.
dont worry about selling the house let the courts decide, if you do answer the phone and his sister is there just tell her you will not discuss anything with her and put the phone down.
she will soon get the message.
when you go for ancillary relief you can get child and spousal maintenance sorted out as well as the house
kind regards
