Hello

For usefull advice to be given some imformation is needed

Your respective ages;

The number of children you have and their ages;

How many nights the children spend with each parent;

The length of your marriage and any period of pre marriage cohabitation;

Your respective incomes;

Your respective outgoings;

Your assets - both soley held and joint;

Your liabilities.

Without this information the answer to "What am I going to get" cannot be given.

Firstly you can contact the Land Registry to ensure that your ex cannot sell either house without your consent as you have an interest in them both.

You and your child will need to be housed, as of course will your ex. Whether that means you and he both staying put but you keeping current house and him keeping the one he's in could be something you settle between you.

But I would recommend you getting some legal advice. You don't want to settle quickly to be sorted and then regret not getting more, if not for yourself then for your child.

hi and thanks for the reply..the marage was for 10yrs,have a 12yr old and my ex has agreed to stay in one property which he claims he is cohabiting with his partner for 2yrs.. my son and i stay in the other and i have been paying the mortgage for 8months so the property does not get repossed...my problem is that both properties are in his name and although it has taken 2 years for him to sign a trasfer form he still owes money on the property i stay and pay for,he wants me to sign a consent form that this is full and final payment..i dont want to be bullied to this as he owes me money and he pays nothing to my son..
..it has taken me 5yrs to get away from this man(abused sexually)and had my rights registered against the 2 properties..had enough and it seems unfair that i am paying for something that is not in my name..pls can anyone let me know if my ex says he is cohabiting with his partner and the finances of the divorce have not been settled does this affect my rights in any way..
also is anyone in a situation where they are trying to transfer property but one party owes money on the account..
..apologies for the long reply..there isnt a second that goes by that i dont think about this problem..
feel used and abused..
