My situation any advice?

Hi all

I have been separated from my husband for 15 months now. I left the home as I could never have afforded the mortgage and bills there. We have 2 children who we do shared parenting with. We work on a 2 days on and 2 days off basis and the children are ok with this, no worries with them. I feel like I have given up so much tho, I did make the decision to leave, the marriage had been over a long time, we were merely friends.

So I now rent with my partner, the marital home he lives in and pays the mortgage on. My name is still on the mortgage and title deeds, I have been asking him for months to arrange valuations so I can be bought out.

We have a Separation Agreement that still needed amendments made by him so there is nothing on paper as yet. I still have a lot of my possessions in that house that he is being very slow at sorting out, can I still enter that property???

Also he is saying now that they are going to move so they can get a bigger house with his girlfriend and child but surely until I am bought out I need to be having a say on what happens?????

I basically left him everything and feel like I am still the one waiting around for things that are rightfully mine!!! I just want some closure on that part of my life and for things to remain amicable for the girls ....

Any help or advice is appreciated.

You have every right to re-enter your house, either to collect your stuff or to move back in (which might get him to agree to sell!).

He is entitled to move out too - but would need to continue paying the mortgage I guess. Is the mortgage also in your name?

I think you may need to instigate divorce proceedings and apply for ancillary relief to get the ball rolling.

The mortgage is in both names as is the title deeds to the house. He thinks I have no keys but I do.

He wanted me to keep my name on the mortgage for now as he is not in a position to remortgage on his own.

I have just found out that he is planning to add to the property and revamp it, new bathrooms etc, surely he can not do anything to the property without my consent whilst my name is on the deeds and mortgage?

Very confused.

Seeing as you both own the house either of you can do work on it to improve it. And if you think about it, its in yr interests to have this work done. As when it comes to be valued for purposes of him buying you out it would have increased in value.

You have every right to enter your home. But seeing as you have been gone some time it would be wise to arrainge your visit. You should withdraw all your belongings as soon as you can. C
