Enforcing a Consent Order and Occupational Rent

Pricivius

Some kids handle change just fine. Some kids could not care less where they live as long as they have their family around them. Some kids are used to change. Others struggle. Others would lose it if asked to move so close to exams, but some would see it as an adventure.

Only the OP knows how his kid would handle this and how much is his ex uses this as an excuse and stalling. I accept OP didn't comment on his child's ability to handle the change, but that doesn't mean he hasn't thought about it or that we should all presume that his child will fall apart at the thought of it.

You're in a difficult position, OP. I presume the intention was to sell quickly so you were prepared to pay your half of the mortgage for that brief amount of time to keep the peace (and your maintenance payments were separate and in addition). As this has now dragged on, maybe you should mention this to your ex?
