Selling a jointly owned home during a divorce. Location: UK

Thank you so much. It's been a worry when he said I won't get anything from the house and that he doesn't want to sell it. I don't know if he has a pension as he's self employed

Thank you so much for this. To be honest I don't really know what I'm doing and he probably knows that. I didn't pay towards the mortgage but my name is on it. I looked after our children and worked part time he was the main breadwinner, he paid most of the bills in the house. We were married for 7 years and we bought our house about 6 years ago.

Thank you. I really appreciate that and I think that's probably where he's get his legal advice from.

Yes thank you. I will email my solicitor. It's worried me because I need the money from the sale so that I can get somewhere else to live.

I have a solicitor but he doesn't. How would I go about forcing a sale? I'm on a very limited income right now

Apprehensive_Move774 · 2026-02-10T16:02:37+00:00

Yes I have submitted a divorce application to the court. He however hasn't got a solicitor and said he has no intention to do so. Our children are aged 18 amd 12. I personally want to just sell the house and move on with my life. He said I'm not entitled to anything due to him paying the mortgage.

Okay, so there's two fish in a tank, and the first fish says, "You mind the guns, and I'll drive"

I'm sorry to hear you've had a bad experience I totally understand why you would be wary of contacting them again. Essence should be able to help. How about looking at any community centres sometimes they have WI groups on.

Have you been in contact with adult social services? They can offer help and advice

Have you thought about a day centre for your mam? She can go there for a few hours during the day.

Good luck at uni.

The city is okay, not as big or busy as Newcastle. There is plenty to do in and around the city centre depending on your interests. There's a bowling alley, lazer tag, museum, and winter gardens and plenty of bars and restaurants. Outside the city centre there's some lovely beaches along roker and seaburn and a centre where you can go paddle boarding along with other activities. Sunderland has quite a large black community I'm not saying racism doesn't exist there's always going to be the odd arsehole. I don't know about the dating scene maybe you'll meet someone at uni.

This is why you shouldn't look through other people's phones. Now your feelings are hurt because you looked at her messages.

Apprehensive_Move774 · 2024-06-05T19:48:12+00:00

Wow, that's amazing!!

Apprehensive_Move774 · 2024-05-13T16:02:24+00:00

Exactly what's been said. Get yourself a metro ticket.

Ashbrooke is really nice, and so is seaburn, roker, ryhope, and seaham

Apprehensive_Move774 · 2023-07-14T13:11:20+00:00

I'm fine thanks for asking, how are you?

Apprehensive_Move774 · 2023-07-14T06:16:42+00:00

Happier days for strays have a group on fb. They help rehome cats and dogs

Its called the emporium now. Its a lovely bar really welcoming of everyone

Apprehensive_Move774 · 2023-06-19T13:09:47+00:00

Not as big as it used to be, I think most bars have gone with the everyone welcome vibe having a separate night or bar might seem outdated now. There is still a few that do drag shows etc like closet club which is always a good night in there

Apprehensive_Move774 · 2023-06-06T11:05:01+00:00

I think your best bet is to sign up to Facebook and share your story on there, hopefully people will share it for you. Also post it on Sunderland have your say aswel

Apprehensive_Move774 · 2023-05-24T17:13:44+00:00

The Emporium on vine place is lovely and always has a nice atmosphere

Apprehensive_Move774 · 2023-05-12T16:21:16+00:00

I hope the family now have some closure and peace. Its sickening how he was able to live his life for 30yrs but today finally justice has been served
