Hi,
Was looking for advice, feedback regarding my situation.
Cut a very long story short, I have a residence order of my children, my ex only sees them once a week, with no over night stays, etc. This may change as of the middle of next year, where the kids may be allowed to stay with her, one night, every two weeks at the weekend, though this depends on a number of factors on her side that she needs to meet, address.
Myself and the children live elsewhere, the ex still lives in our family home. I still pay the mortgage and house insurance. I have tried to be reasonable in regards of the home, for example, suggested we sell it, and split the capital 50/50. Or I purchase her share, etc.
She's refusing, to do anything. My children are both under the age of 13, one under the age of 8. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to go back to the courts to get this moving. I am looking to setup a new family home for the 3 of us, but this is just delaying things.
I was wondering, has anyone been through a similar situation, any advice? What are the likely time scales? Any thoughts on what the courts are likely to do?
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated.
I think it would be wise to get a consultation with a solicitor, I think you need advice on the situation with the property - I can't see that your ex should still be living in the family home at your expense when the children live with you.
