  • No it is not possible unless the girlfriend has actually been charged and taken to court for abuse or harrassment of the mother.

    Thanks for that.

    Legal advice now been given - the above is true...also for anyone who wants the answer in future - she cant stop either of us moving in.....:T:T

    If the dad, who is a joint owner, wants his son (+ other relative/friend etc) to live with him, there would have to be a very compelling reason (ie violence, criminal activity like drugs) for a court to grant a restraining order.

    Why should I move out for her though? If im in....im staying in ha ha!

    I just want to know the rules/ laws and then I can basically say to her 'Tough im here now'.

    I appreciate your stepmother seems to be being rather vindictive, but honestly you are better off just ignoring her and being the bigger person. She blatantly just wants to get a rise out of your dad/ you/ your girlfriend so don't let her. :confused:

    Ensure you and g/f pay £4250pa or less so there are no tax implications on your fathers rental income.

    I think but others will hopefully correct me if I'm wrong; that if you don't want to pay rent then you can pay the bills without creating a taxable benefit.
