lafemme51 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have been with my partner for 10 years and we have two children. we have a joint house and both put capital in. The relationship has ended. I want to stay in the house with the children. I don't want to uproot them. My partner said he wants me and kids to move out. He said about selling house (at a loss). With working tax credit I could afford to pay the mortgage. Someone mentioned that despite not being married I may have rights to stay in house until youngest child is 16. Does anyone have any experience in this or knows someone who has? can't really afford to get legal advice. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 you need proper legal advice, someone like the CAB should be able to help and there are a number of similar organisations. also most solicitors will give you a free half hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZZFAYE Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 could you not remortgage and buy him out. i know the youngest child being 16 thing works if you are married, as my sis partners x wife is still in the house he owns for another year or so then she has either got to buy him out or sell the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Neither of you has an automatic right to stay in the house. Since there are children involved, it is likely that whoever ends up with custody of the children would be allowed to stay in the house until they turn 18 - but it is not certain. It is more accurate to say that you can't afford not to take legal advice. You must see a solicitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Spyda Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 You should definitely go and see the CAB about this to get some help. I don't see why he'd want the kids to move out. Fair enough wanting you to move out, but not the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carltoncdx Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 He cant make you move out......the kids have a right to live in the family home. A court MAY make you move out if there is at least 100k equity in the house which would give you both enough to start again....though VERY unlikely. Go see Micheala at Taylor Emmet behind TJ hughes in town...free half hour. She is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spider1 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks everyone. He cant get you out but you will have to pay half the mortgage if you are not married He will have to pay maintenance for kids if they are his. When kids leave home age 18 or there abouts maintenance will stop House will then be sold and proceds spllt in two. Dont let him him bully you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be her that needs to pay maintenance, you don't know. It hasn't gone through court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hard2miss Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 He just needs a good shake. If he loves the kids he will see sense. It could be worse, I have just come off a topic where Halibut is asking that we treat Abu Qatada's wife and kids with respect and keep the hubby here, even though he would have everyone else killed in the name off bla bla bla. They say that WE should respect him, his wife and his kids to a family life here even though he does not wish anyone else to. Now that's a dilemma for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
