You need to go an see a solicitor asap about your rights. Usually some offer 1/2 free session. You can claim as a single person whilst living together but you will have to prove you are in seperate households.

Going to citizens advice on wed, so hopefully find out where I have to start with everything, Can't believe it's ended up like this, hopefully they will know a way for me to get him out the house or they can refer me somewhere to get somewhere else asap. really don't want to have to leave as love my house and it's my kids home. Could afford to pay the mortagage and bills on my own. But theres no way he's going to leave.

The CAB will signpost you to a solicitor that can give you your legal rights as most CAB offices do not offer legal advice, however they can do you a benefits check.

If his name is on the mortgage there is no way that you can rid of him as he is entitled to be in the house. Unless he is violent and you could get an order out on him. Is there anyway you could go to a mediation service together and try and sort something out as it will cost you both a fortune in solicitors fees in the long run.

I'd be happy to do that, but at the moment he's quite happy. He's never been violent, but would not repeat the way i'm spoken to. He knows how far he can push it and get away with it and he goes to the limits :mad: Thanks will find out what type of solicitor nearest to me from cab

Verbal abuse may be enough to get him out, you need the half hour free legal advice and perhaps to report the verbal abuse to the police. Tell the tax credits he has moved back in against your will and you are seaking legal advice, then it is all above board.

Hi - I know it's a bit sneaky, but could you get the locks changed while he's out?? I did with my ex, he'd moved out but was threatening to move back in, i've got a fantastic solicitor who told me to change the locks, worst my ex could do was take me to court & we both knew there was no way he could afford to do that. Our marriage ended in October so it is still pretty fresh & i have 3 children under 5, he's not paid a penny to this household since the end of october it's all been down to me & there are arrears on the mortgage from before he moved out, all of which i have been paying & would have managed ok, until thursday of this week when it was announced the place i work is closing down & we're on 90 days redundancy notice - hence my reason for looking over this site.
If you can get to see a solicitor do it asap, I would have been lost without mine - she's brilliant!

Completely illegal as the DH has full entitlement to enter the property. I really would not recommend this course of action, as it could just cause further tension.

About 6 months ago there was a program on the tv about benefit cheats, and one couple were living together but weren't 'living together'. They both claimed benefits and claimed that they were living as single people. The man who went to see them agreed that they weren't together in any sense as one person paid all the bills and the other person literally had a cupboard in the kitchen with food in and a duvet and pillow and that is it. Doesn't really help and can't remember what the program was called, but it was very interesting. Even the kids told the man that their mummy and daddy were seperated.

Do NOT change the locks as since the house is in joint names, he is entitled to be there. And from reading your posts with his behaviour, it might made things alot worst for you. I had a friend that had a slighty different situation where she put her patner out and changed the locks, he came back and kicked the door in, police never done anything as since it mortgaged in both names it was his property.
