andrew1111 said:She cant afford the mortgage as she is now trying to get benefits, so she will really have to move out and ill move back in, but she cant afford to do that so i dont know what to do, ive paid so much and given so much and spoke with her a few times before finally calling it a day, she say with me and said were both not happy so lets call it day. I left and now feel like I am no longer financially responsible for her and her kids. That stops as soon as i leave, the kids have different dads so they need to step up and be responsible. It really isnt my problem. However i wont see them homeless so selling asap is the only optionWould the figures work if you had the apartment and it was a clean split that way?I get that you were happy to subsidise the children whilst you and their mum were together but their dads are paying so why do you think their dads should 'step up and be responsible' now?We are only getting your side of the story here but all too often we hear that whoever is posting paid for everything while the other one never worked, etc…. and yes these children are not yours but it’s equally sad to hear you categorically stating how you won’t pay for them. Please don’t let them hear any of this it would be very hurtful albeit I know they are not your responsibility. How long have you been together, it looks like it’s a long while if you have two properties.Are you sure all of this isn’t because you want the house?

If she doesn't work and is looking to claim benefits its very unlikely she can pay the mortgage unless its very small. How much equity is there between the two properties? Can you afford to buy her out for half of that if the one of the properties is sold?"You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "0 -
