Father - Relationship breakdown

artfulldodger86

so far from what i gather My Ex has not got any legal hold over me and its only down to me (being a nice guy) that she is still in the house with my children. Obviously the children are my main priority and possibly the only reason i have not gone home and told her to leave. Hopefully a family law solicitor can clear up any grey spots for me

I agree that mediation should be the way to go.

It sounds like your ex is panicking, hence her aggression and defensiveness.

If you move back in to the house is up to you, but you are legally entitled to and the longer you leave it, the harder it will get IMO.

I think you are right in speaking to a solicitor, but remember if you need to go to the family court for whatever reason (and hopefully it wont come to that), with a little bit of research, you don't need an expensive lawyer, you can represent yourself.

Amongst other things they have details of McKenzie friends who can attend court and advise you how to conduct your case if things get really difficult. A lot cheaper than a lawyer in court.

Depending on the circumstances of the break up, it could also be a really sh!*ty thing to do to the mother of his children. Its not as though he has nowhere to live while things are sorted out.

Why is there always one feminist crusader??!!

Just because he has a shoe box to sleep in doesn't mean he should like it and lump it. Why the hell should he pay for the upkeep of HIS house that he isn't 'allowed' to set foot inside and still pay £300pm in maintenance?

Could you not transfer the bills into her name, thus pushing her into having to make some contribution towards the house she is free loading?
