    Everything will be fine, honestly. He isn't leaving the house through choice but because circumstances are forcing him to. So he is taking his time, hoping to put off the evil day (to him) a bit longer. But he will have to sign eventually, and if he is REALLY obstructive the court will sign on his behalf.

    You just need to take a few deep breaths and hang in there (easy to say, I know...)

    Sorry to be the proift of doom, but how far down the linei s the divorce? A friend of mine was in a similar situation and after a lot of dragging on they anounced at the last minute that they had re united and the sale was off......

    I dont see how you could have him kicked out of the house - if he dosent sign the contract then you cant do anything unless they are not paying the mortgage in which case it will be repod anyway.

    Perhaps you could suggest to the agents that you look at other houses as your purchase is not moving along. You dont have to mean it, but it may rattle the agent enough to kick start things

    This is what we've been told. He hasn't got a choice really. I feel sorry for him but its not our fault and we really need to move within the next few weeks or it will start clashing with things going on in our own life!

    It has been finalised (or whatever the terminology is!!!!)
