My Girlfriends mother got a joint mortgage for �50,000 20 years ago with my girlfriends father (they were never married) she alone paid the deposit of �12,000 and she has paid the mortgage payments on her own for the past 20 years. When they split she never removed him from the mortgage. Now he is threatening to force her to sell, and he wants 50% of the profit. Can she do anything to stop him from forcing her to move out, or to get any money from her?
Would advise you to go to the Citizens Advice Bureau initially who may give you some simple advice and probably advise you, as redcrx suggests, to see a solicitor.
