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

Hmm, 'legal rights to stay in house', I can honestly say that if I was living with someone whom I had to bother the Police about then I would be looking for an alternative place to live pdq. Be it house, flat, bedsit or caravan I would not want to be around such an awful person.
I am left wondering if the Police involvement was an attempt to take things further to have him turfed out of his home thereby leaving you with a lovely new home.
If he is that bad then surely you would be doing everything possible to get out of there?Karma - the consequences of ones acts."It's OK to falter otherwise how will you know what success feels like?"1 debt v 100 days £20000 -
Blimey, if everyone phoned the police every time their OH/partner/bedmate yelled at them the unemployment situation wouldn't exist..................
....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

It makes me wonder what you would all say if some guy posted on here the following:
I have a house in my name only and I pay the mortgage. My girlfriend and her 7 year old child live here with me. She does pay her half of the bills but its my house. She has a flat which she rents out as she moved in with me because we were engaged to be married.
Recently she had major surgery and was supposed to rest so I let her have the master bedroom. However, I did expect her to deal with the builders. Because she didn't do this to my liking we started having arguments which ended up with me accidentally screaming in her face and threatening her (only a little bit). She called the police which I thought was entirely unreasonable on her part and because of that I decided the relationship was over with no possibility of reconciliation.
I told her first I wanted her out of the bedroom and then on second thoughts out of the house completely. I've given her a week's notice for her and her daughter to get out of my house which I think is fair. She cannot return to her flat because the tenants require notice. She says I am being unreasonable and I should allow her to stay two months. Who do you think is in the wrong here?
Would you all agree with him and back him up? I don't think so. Personally, I think you would tear him apart.The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best0 -

There are some police forces which will not allow both partners to remain in the house together if one has called the police over a domestic incident as a matter of policy. They will remove him/her by force if necessary, and hold until the next day. If the person won't go quietly s/he gets a caution too if first offence or whatever else if not first time.
I think OP is playing dirty..
I'm sure some people would tear him apart because some people are like that but it doesn't change the fact that the OP called the police because her ex partner wanted to exercise his legal right to evict her from his house which she doesn't pay for because doesn't want to leave.
She wasn't throwing her total income in the pot she has been holding back some using it to pay school fees. Nor have they been living together long enough to give her rights on that basis.
She did bring the police in, and talk about getting a court order on the basis that her ex fiance can't make her homeless because of thechild. Not his child and since she owns a flat she's not homeless.
There's a woman in the Daily Mail saying her husband's sperm is a marital asset and that he shouldn't be allowed to donate sperm without her consent. On that basis a woman should have to get her husband's consent to donate eggs or have an abortion.
Some of these women seem not to have a grip on reality including OP.0 -
The so-called threat appears to be to throw her out of the house. She's playing very dirty and I do hope she finds herself on the streets for that is where she belongs.0

Even holding to the next day if no crime has been committed is largely outside their legitimate powers.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

Hopefully the daughter's father will take her and he would have good reason if the mother has kept her in an environment that she claims is frightening.0
