House sold without permission...

Did he pay child support for his kids which are now grown up ?
Did he have contact with them in the last 8 years.
Are the CSA looking for him for unpaid child support ?

He may even be divorced now due to desertion. If the wife could not find him after 2 years she can get a divorce. I expect that this is why the judge has stepped in to sell the home. I think it used to be 6/7 years for desertion. If he had left it any longer she could have had him declared dead.

What was he thinking of to just disappear and then think he can control when she sells the house.

OMG sorry ive not replied, been busy busy busy. Well we went down to the mortgage providers as they would have had to have agreed something to go from double owners to single., they couldn't even find them on their system so we have to write a letter.

So they might or might not have known how to find him, his daughter visited us about 5 years ago, as far as I know he stopped paying the mortgage when he left but continued to pay child support till the oldest was 18. I dont know why he didnt keep in contact, thats not my business (its not my dad, its my mums partner) and he has his reasons.

Yes he is only now interested as its been sold, he paid the mortgage on a house for 13 years and it has a large chunk of equity on it, he should have kept in contact with the ex and family, ive said this many times.

Thank you so much to everyone who has replied so far, ill have a proper read through in a bit.

If dad gets hold of the court order, it may tell him what's happened to any equity. As he wasn't represented at the hearings, it's quite likely to have gone to his wife. It's high time he divorces, anyway, unless there are religious objections to that.

Any ideas how I get hold of the court order?

My understanding is that the details should be in the hands of the court who issued the order. Whether it would be a matter of public record I do not know.

The Transfer as lodged at Land Registry is likely to have referred to the order but it is not a requirement that the order is lodged in support of the application. However if it was then it may be open to inspection.

You can Contact Us using the online contact form by providing details of the property/title number and what exactly it is you require e.g. Transfer between X and Y and dated around Z was made as a result of a court order. Was the order supplied at the time Y was registered as the owner and if so do you have an available copy? - or similar.

We can check our records and advise whether a copy was supplied and if so whether it is available, how to apply for a copy and at what cost.

Apart from that, the lenders are likely to have a copy of the court order, and of course the ex-wife, except that she may still be married to him. I can't help feeling that talking to her might be a good idea. Might be best to apologise first.

although there may have been equity when sold, 8 years of not paying would surely wipe out most of what could have been claimed.. Could understand such an issue had he continued to pay the mortgage over those years, or if during separation such an interest had been lodged...
