legal rights to stay in house with my child as house in ex's name

FBaby

the initial post stated that

I need to consider that it will take time to relocate schools (as currently fee paying as will no longer be able afford on my own) and find suitable accommodation for myself and my daughter. We had relocated in good faith that we had found our forever home and kept my flat as investment. I have no intention of returning to my flat and this has a 2 month notice period on it anyway. Any advice will be welcome asap. Thankyou

She does states she wants to find suitable accommodation and relocate schools... how is this her wanting to have a claim on the house?

They haven't been together only 7 months, MOVED together 7 months ago. They agreed on the house 9 months ago, so clearly have been together for at least more than 9 months.

We don't know the details of their financial arrangements, if she does or doesn't actually contributes towards the mortgage.

I can relate with the OP's situation because it could be me. I moved with my partner 18 months ago. We extended his house and I rent mine. I get no revenue from it, only pays the mortgage, tax etc.. We are looking at adding my name to the deeds of this house, but as my mortgage is due to end in December and we are due to get married next year, it makes sense to do everything together, with my new name, along with the wills etc...

In the meantime, I live in his house legally...but in every other way, it is OUR house. I do contribute towards the bills and the mortgage, I clean the house, look after it, and it is my home. Just because the arrangements at the moment are such that it is his HOUSE, it doesn't make it less my HOME and just like you have to give at least 2 months notice to someone who rents, you would expect someone to give at least the same sort of notice in this situation, regardless of their fight over the stupid bedroom.

He clearly made a commitment at one time to a child, and it is the fact he is letting down that child that makes him sad in my eyes. That he doesn't care what happens to the OP because of what she allegedly did is one thing, but it is not fair on the kid to be totally distabilised. Giving a bit more time so that OP could sort something out giving time to explain and help her daughter accept the situation would show a bit of compassion, which he seems to be completely lacking off.

Thankyou to those for your advice and those who have tried to offer support and understanding in my situation, especially FBaby for your comments.
I seem to have stirred up so much bickering on here between yourselves. Some people really seem to hate me (newkittenhelp to mention one with a particular spiteful tongue). I have been quite upset by some comments and can't see how some people just don't get what I am asking. I agree my posts were confusing as to 'rights' as 'legal' and 'moral' are two very different things! I felt I need to know what legal standing I have as my ex is by no means moral in this situation!

Anyway, I know I am in such short time, as now know I am not entitled to stay in the house 'legally' although 'morally' I should. I have just a few days to get out when I could have been thrown out with no notice so have used this time constuctively concentrating on getting me and my daughter out of the house without further upset or distress. Today I have arranged a man with a van to move my possessions into storage and am going to stay in a holiday flat until I can find suitable long term rented accommodation. I have found out the tenant in my flat is very happy there and wishing to stay long term so that is (kind of) added security that my mortgage payments will be met and property not left any period un-tenanted for the forseeable future.
I am in discussion with the school re bursaried fees for the forthcoming year so will see what happens there, as I have a definite free school space for new year as the school has secured free school status for Sept 2013. I am relieved there is hope that my daughter can remain in her school and not have further disruption to her education.
And finally feel relieved that I am out of a miserable relationship and luckily found out before I got married. The next few months will be difficult but we can make a fresh start just me and my daughter and concentrate on a better, happier life.
(Hey newkittenhelp- I could have held out and married him and screwed him for every penny, half the house- if I really was such a money grabbing, spongeing !!!!! as you seem to have portrayed me as- but I am not, and never was like that!!!)

Glad you've managed to find somewhere to stay and good luck with the school.
