Thanks for joining us on the forum – glad to have you here. You are welcome to post 24/7 but please note that whilst we have forum moderators we will only be moderating the forum during office hours. If though you need urgent crisis help, please contact Samaritans on 116 123.
Spurgeons and Dad.Info doesn’t investigate reports of abuse or neglect. But below, you can find advice on who to contact if you have concerns about a child or young person.
Reporting a concern
It can be difficult to know what to do if you think a child is at risk. It’s important to remember that if you’ve spotted things that don’t seem right, others will have too. Speaking up can make sure that child gets help as soon as possible.
The sooner you contact your local children’s social care duty team, the quicker they can act. They’re available 24 hours a day, and can make an anonymous report if that feels safer. If a child is in immediate danger, please call the police straight away by dialling 999.
Report child abuse or neglect to your local council
Use these links to get in touch with your local council:
The wife and I have separated after 13 years of marriage, she has takenour 3 children from the marital home and gone to live at her mothers..
She called me up today and said iv either got to leave the house in 7 days, or shes going to go to the county court and get me evicted? she said it could happen in 2 days?
the house/mortgage is in both our names although she hasn't worked for 10 years?
can and will they evict me? she has threatened to say iv domestically abused her to make this happen although iv never touched her?
so worried?
Hi There,
With both your names on the mortgage I wouldn't think they could evict you even if she claimed DV, If she claimed DV and you were in the house and she had no where to live I would imagine they would place her in a hostel or bed and breakfast until they council could re home her.
I would take some legal advice though and make sure your clear on your rights before anything happens as if she starts to get the ball rolling then at least you would be ready and prepaired with the information you needed.

Got the t-shirt is right, i don't see any point of you being evicted, both of your names is on the paper. Go ask for some legal advice.
She couldn't get you evicted, the mortgage is in both your names.
If both names are on the mortgage then you both have as much right to live there. So I cannot see that she can have you evicted.
The only way of excluding you from the property that I can think of is if she applies for an occupancy order which I think would be difficult for her unless she can prove DV.
Have the Police ever been called, have you ever been arrested, cautioned or questioned about DV against your wife?
Regards,
Dave
