My experience is that the kids dont give a toss whos right and whos wrong they just want their lives to continue as uninterrupted as possibledavilown said:

Hi OP. You may find that the 'marriage and relationships' boards on this forum are a better bet for you on this one; that's where most of the child-support related advice is discussed.
As pointed out previously, you may be looking at applying for an Order for Sale if your ex is not co-operative. The courts may consider the position of the children in this process, but they may also consider your ability to support an independent life. Whilst courts will often seek to maintain children in their family home, or in other suitable accommodation, that may not mean totally free accommodation for the ex in perpetuity.
You will also have some child support obligations and it's often better to get the whole arrangement formalised, especially when the parents are not able to work together properly.1
