I'd be really grateful for some advice on this...
We've been together about 3 years, bought a house together last year. We put down equal portions of the deposit and have paid equal shares of the mortgage every month. There is one DC involved, not his biological child.
We have split up, as the relationship just wasn't working for many reasons, and I really need to move out of the house with my DS to get our own space. However, he has claimed that since I signed the mortgage agreement I have to keep paying even if I move out, and there is no way I can get out of this. I wouldn't be able to afford to rent somewhere as well as keeping up the mortgage payments.
Is this claim true? If so, is selling therefore the only option? Would I be able to force him to sell? We are tenants in common.
When he's less angry he says that he will take over all payments and let me move out. Even if this happens, though, my share of the deposit would still be tied up in the house.
What are my rights in this situation? Do I have any? I know now that I rushed into buying this house and am regretting it, too late though ....
Thanks for any advice anyone can offer, sorry for the long post, just at my wits end at the moment and desperate to get out.
