I was wondering whether I should follow my solicitors advice of having the house signed over to me because I have the children (until they are 18). I went to my sisters yesterday and her house is falling apart because she cant maintain it and my friend who got divorced ten years ago keeps defaulting on her mortgage and extending the term. Both of these women work bloody hard full time but just have not remarried since their divorce.
I am worried I might not be able to cope with the financial responsibility of the house and don't really want the stress but I feel under pressure to do it for the kids as it is their home. Also the solicitor told me that the council will be under no obligation to re-house me if I voluntarily make myself homeless!
I'm worried I might be commiting myself to a lifetime of more struggle than necessary.
