    AFAIK it's the 4 bed family home that OP bought from his parents so it's his former family home. That's why he wants to buy out his ex to keep his original family home. It suits the ex to stay in this large house especially as she now has an extra child so she doesn't want to move out. Although the ex would get a decent amount of money if he did buy her out she doesn't have much of an income (from herself or the new bloke) to buy a new place.

    I think OP has a solicitor but he isn't hearing what he wants i.e. a way of keeping his family home.

    That's my understanding.
    That's what I thought.
    So I can't understand why the OP is mentioning 5 bedrooms or 3 bedrooms.

    I think the 3 bedrooms was what would have been large enough as an alternative home for the ex without a new baby. So OP feels he's being required to provide a larger home although the additional occupants are nothing to do with him.

    The 4/5 may be because one of the rooms (study? dining room?) is flexible. I'm just guessing :)

    Was Kicked out of family home last October by wife who remained in there with our 3 kids. I Moved in with sister.
    New fella has moved in (which she denies) and they now have a 2 month old baby together.

    And you're letting her raise your children?

    Really? Is that because you can't conceive *not* using violence against women to get what you want?

    Cant Comprehend why someone would openly admit their sexist on an open forum in 2019, no shame or simply no comprehension that their being sexist?

    Maybe the OP moved out as he was thinking about the impact on his 3 children if he stayed in the house in an atmosphere of animosity...?

    I doubt he actually meant physically 'kicked out'.

    I can comprehend a MAN moving out of a house that his wife and 3 children are living because of a breakdown in the marriage/relationship.
