Hi Everyone,
I'm new on here but looking for a bit of advice. My wife and I have been separated for over 2 years now. She remains in the family home with our 3 boys (15, 12 and 10), who I have in rented accommodation every weekend and during school holidays.
My wife agreed that we should sell the house so that we can both move on and both get places suitable for housing the boys. We have a shared mortgage. She seems to have changed her mind and is blocking putting the house on the market. My assets are tied into the house and if she wishes to remain there she is unable to buy me out.
I just wondered if anyone had been in a similar situation and was able to offer any advice.
Many thanks
Mike.
Hi Mike
I would go and see a divorce lawyer - see if you can get an initial free consultation and write down bullet points of what you want answered before you go (in order of decreasing importance) to make the most of that free time. It does seem that by procrastinating, you ex really has nothing to lose, so you may need to force her hand.
