tennants in common, splitting up, child involved

Posts: 76 Forumite
Me and my partner are splitting up.
WE have a 11 month old baby and obviously this will have a large effect on the sale of the house.
we are tennants in common 50/50 allthough i put down 7k depost and she put down nothing.
There is also a case of domestic violence logded against me in which i accepted a caution to avoid going to court. Basically i grabbed her to remove something from her hand. I was wrong and it is not something which i hope will have an effect.
The house is worth roughly 20k more than when we brough. Can i force a sale even though she will have custody?
Many thanks for your help on this in advanced. I have a funny feeling im going to get nothing
she claims to have contacted a solicitor and I obviously will be doing so in due course.
She is also limiting access currently even tho we live together still by taking him off me and making it difficult to get any time with him.

You might have to face the fact hat the house can't be sold until your son is of school-leaving age unless you both agree to it. Your child needs a roof over his head whatever happens. Is your wife in a position to either buy you out of the property or buy another one on her own?0

my brother has one daughter living in a house held in common with me, if i decide to sell the age of my neice is immaterial, kids and their parents are evicted all the time, just because they own half a house doesnt give them legal rights to stop sale.1. i'm bi polar.:rotfl:2. carer for two autistic sons.:A 3. have a wonderful but challenging teenage daughter.:mad: 4. have a husband that is insatiable. :eek: 5. trying to do an open degree.0

I think you might find the rules are different if the sellers have obligations to the dependant child.0 -
Even if you say that the house has 20K equity it means absolutely nothing as if the house goes on the Market its
likely that an offer might be 20K below the asking price anyway, so no euity at all. see what I mean.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
really, oh, well i thought that tenants in common was different to just co habiting or married rules of ownership, as it shows a financialy agreed division at instigation.
but if its different then i appologise.1. i'm bi polar.:rotfl:2. carer for two autistic sons.:A 3. have a wonderful but challenging teenage daughter.:mad: 4. have a husband that is insatiable. :eek: 5. trying to do an open degree.0 -
