Hi,
I'm in the process of getting divorced and selling the family home. My question is, once its all done I'd like to buy a small house for myself and my son (I have sole custody due to issues with his father). Can I get a mortgage based partly on maintenance payments and can anyone recommend a lender?

Yes you can use maintenance payments against your mortgage affordability with many lenders.

No - we cannot recommend a lender on this forum.

Is the maintenance court ordered or through the CSA?
How old is the child(ren)? How many years were you looking to do the mortgage over?

You'll need to use it to travel before the end of September 2025 – or risk losing it. Below we explain how to search for unused vouchers and how to use them.
