Can anyone advise regarding cohabitating?
I have equity tied up in the marital home with a legal agreement that should my ex cohabit with someone for 6 months in any given 12 months then this would free up my cash.
The ex has been with someone since June and his car is at the house all weekend every weekend. My children have said that he stays over all weekend and turns up ' unannounced' and stays over several times in the week.
I don't want to ask my children as they are only 4 and 8 and when I ask my partner she says that it is nothing to do with me and I should 'mind my own business as he is just a friend'.
How can I prove, if at all, that this person 3-4 nights week is living / staying at the home to release my equity?
I think you need more specialist advice than we are able to give on here - at the very least go to see the citizen's advice bureau, but you may need to see a solicitor on this.
Hi There,
.
I agree with actd, I'm not sure what would count as him living there and whether he would need to be there 7 nights a week in order to trigger your release of funds, a solicitor would be able to look at the order and tell you for certain how strong your case is.
.
You would also have to prove that he is there as much as you suspect, seeing a car outside could be passed off as he leaves it there over night if he has had a drink.
