NC as going to send link to friend.
My friends husband has moved out. They have two kids under five. He has completely checked out the relationship and tbh she is relieved as it was stressful in the house.
He has moved in with his family.
He is now refusing to pay towards the mortgage and wants her to sell. Wants a clean break
He has been to the solicitor already and told her that, she can stay in the house till youngest is out of FT education OR she meets some one else, then she has to sell and he will receive half of the house, even though he is not paying towards the mortgage. There is about £20,000 equity.
She doesn't want to lose her kids home.
She works a few hours but is going to try get more and go on family tax credits but her incomings are not enough,
He has already checked how much CS He has to pay, £190 a month.
Can he refuse to pay mortgage ? Can he still claim half the house if she stays and pays it herself?
Is she entitled to legal aid for some good advice?
Thanks
