Can my ex force me to sell my house?

silvercar, yes he does see this, I have told him on several occasions but he just repeats that it is not his problem.


I sometimes think he will not be happy until I am dead and is doing all he can to cause me as much stress as possible.


I think I have no alternative but to go and talk to a solicitor or mediation services, but first I need to jot down some bullet points to take. However, I am struggling to concentrate and stay focussed on this as it is so difficult and I keep shelving it for later

Just a passing thought... all assets are joint so if he is entitled to a share of your house are you not entitled to a share of his endowment when it matures?

Yes -all assets count

OP your bullet points should be a breakdown of the current living arrangement legally- eg you are currently two families living and claiming seperately.
Assets of the marriage eg
Equity in house
Endowment policy
Car
Savings
Doesn't matter which name they are in they are all assets of the marriage

Situation of the children -eg any extra ordinary issues and needs (which yours obviously have)

Furthermore I'd suggest you call the CSA tomorrow and open a claim for the child who is resident with you-you can't open one for your ex - but no doubt he will do the same in time - part of each claim will cancel out the other but you will get more over and above as you earn less than he does. He's obviously out for everything he can get and is ignoring and avoiding paying what he should so let the CSA sort out that side and a solicitor deal with the assets side -and simply tell him you are doing it this way to ensure everything is fair and legal

The fact you earn so much less than he does and he is contributing nothing to the support of the child is a disgrace (never mind the car and endowment shenanigans)

If he objects to the CSA and the solicitor I suggest you quote his words right back at him. Just stay calm -get yourself informed and then decide your next step.
