Thelma Langford
I am now divorced and have been for 3 years, but my problem is 'him and me' are still living in the same home....separate rooms....but its so stressful. We both co-own the house and neither can sell without the others consent...and HE wont give his consent. Ok we are not youngsters and probably wont have another relationship, but hey I live in hope at the age of 59 that I will have some sort of a social/sex life eventually. The house will worth about £450,000 and if we move out of the area, it should be enough to purchase a place each...defo wouldn't be in London though where we are now. What does anybody suggest that I do. I have custody of two grandsons and have my daughter living with me too so will need a three bed place, he would only need a small home. neither of my children are his by the way. I need to get on with my life and this is verrrrry stressful.

Hi Thelma
I have had a similar problem. I eventually moved out after 9 months as he became violent so i had no option. I am in rented now and having to take it to court so a judge can order him to sell up and split the profits. It's hard work but after 20 months i am making slow progress and my solicitor says even though it could be another 8 months before it's settled the wheels are in motion and i am closer than ever. You need to get some legal advice and get out of there asap for yours and the kids sanity.
Good Luck. Mandy

At a loss to understand, in the Great Land Down Under, Australia to you, when a couple divorce there is a settlement within 12months of the degree absolute. You say you have been divorced for 3 years and to date no settlement, your laws must be a lot different from ours. A couple who are divorced must reach settlement or one party can apply to the Family Court for a order to this affect.
Watch your solicitor is not just "milking the cow". We have a system of Legal Aid where you can get advice and the use of a solicitor at no cost or low cost, depending on your financial situation.
Best of luck, can`t say I blame you for getting out of London I have a daughter in London and have visited her on 2 occasions. I love the English countryside but London,yuk.
