    Sorry should of added - we are not married. His first wife left him with the children and went to France. She put the key through the letterbox. Sorry I am a bit all over the place at the moment.

    Please don't panic.

    My youngest was four when I split up and the solicitors had toys and a room for children to play in so things can be discussed in confidence. I'm sure solicitors are use to Mums with young children visiting their offices.

    It doesn't matter that you are not married. You have been in a committed relationship and have had children together.

    Remember all the things he is saying now are just intimidating threats. He is just frightening you. Don't rise to it or accept anything.

    Importantly you have two young children and they need protecting. A solicitor will advice you the best way forward.

    Exactly why you should be listening to proper legal advice rather than him. Don't be bullied or frightened into doing anything. This needs to be sorted out fairly.
  • Just wondering how things are going? Hope you are ok.
  • When my hubby walked out I got straight onto social they paid the interest on the mortgage and he had to pay the shortfall demanded by court.
    You dont have to leave if your name is on the mortgage he does as he has to pay for a roof over your head if you have his baby

    Dont do yourself short
