tigger01 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 I do not think that I have abanded the family home as I return each day, I am just not sleeping there. I stated from the start that I would return each day, which he did not seem to have a problem with! I do not think that he believed it was going to happen. I have a solicitor through the citizens advice, and have just started on the divorce road, he should receive notification this week, although I have forewarned him of this in a letter. I think he wants to remain in the house so he will have to sort out how to buy me out. I know this is going to be a long process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clabs Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Tigger - yes - it is going to be a long and difficult road. But try and stay strong and stay focussed. Don't get drawn into any silly arguments - ok? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejigsup Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Don't start that juvenile business of changing locks all the time. Did you know that if he doesn't agree with you staying there with the kids, the house can be ordered sold? Usually in cases like this, this is what happens. If both your names are on the deed, any profit is split between you after attorneys are paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthseeker Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Your view of abandoning the house is not going to be the same as in court. This doing things gradual is not going to cut the mustard. Get back in the house now...without giving him warning...sleep on the couch if you must. I have to say,I would feel resentful if my mom left too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlovs Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I know here in Texas, if the woman leaves, the law considers it her abandoning the family, thereforee she has no right to go back unless she has permission from the husband. BUT he has to prove you abandoned the family. So you are staying elsewhere. It could be for a few nights. The law doesn't know. Also, here the poilce don't like to get involved in those "domestic" squabbles unless someone is hurt or getting hurt. Breaking a wondow is one way. But it may be cheaper to have a locksmith go out and make you a new set of keys than it would be to replace the window. But definitely you need a lawyer to get the ball rolling and prevent him from interjecting any other barracades for you. With yur attorney involved, your husband will have no legal ground to change locks or keep you out. If he does, your attorney can file against him.
