seperation issues

[Joweey]

My partner and i have recently split up. We have lived together for 6 years and have two children together. He refuses to move out of the house,it is his house so i completly understand why. But i don't feel i should have to up root the children and move them else where when they already have a perfectly good home. I was wondering if he has any obligation to let his children stay in the house with me. I have no money to rent or buy elsewhere so would have to move in with my parents.

Why on earth should you get to stay in the house(his house) just because you have the children? If you had to move in with your parents for a while it would be no big deal,women have to do it all the time. If you don't want to uproot the children you could always leave them with him and wait until you have a home sorted for them to move into before having them live with you.

Hi, this is a sad state of affairs but you are not alone. You are the childrens mother and carer. They need you around. The service your provide is valuable and your soon to be ex would have to provide that himself (nanny etc which would be costly) or be the care giver. You have rights and he would have to help you provide for the children. After 6 years you have earned 'a share' in the house, after all you forgo your right to work to be a full time mother. Do not do anything without contacting CAB first and getting some advice. You may also be entitled to free legal advice. Good Luck.

Why dont you have a word with your local housing council?

You need some proper legal advice on this. You will have some rights, as the children's mother, and you need to sort this out as soon as possible. Do not move out until you have sought this advice.

Sorry Annna, I didn't read your answer right through and have just repeated what you said. I fully agree with you that Jowee will have some rights over the house.

I just want to respond to your answer daffy to say that i appreciate your opinion but would never leave my children even for the shortest length of time. You're obviously not a mother

[puddicat]

joweey think you are being a bit harsh on daffy dont think she wants you leave them lol!!!

Joweey, I'm a mother and it's perfectly healthy to leave your children in someone else's care occasionally, although I appreciate you don't want to move out without them.

I'm afraid you can't make him leave his own home. get some legal advice. you can get this free at the CAB or other welfare advisory body.

best of luck :o)
