Re: housing
You can secure a sale of the house only if you bring a divorce case to a successful conclusion and if that is the order of the court. The court will be concerned about what will happen to your wife and child and will need to be assured that your wife will be able to have a residence elsewhere. jeremy Morley
Re: housing
It depends if the house is soley in your name. File for custody of the child and file for divorce immediately.
Re: housing
Technically, you could bring an action for
partition Her response could be a counter
suit for separation and a request for exclusive
possession
The separation for 14 months at her insistence
is probably sufficient to argue grounds for
divorce File for divorce and have the
disposition of the house handled as part
of the equitable distribution
