Re: how can i get my exwife to sell our house
this is clearly a most unsatisfactory situation and an application must be made to the court in the divorce proceedings for an appropriate financial order which will deal with the ownership and occupation of the matrimonial home. On divorce it is the duty of the court to make a financial order which is fair to both parties in all the circumstances, and it is most unlikely you would be left with nothing. It will be necessary to ensure that your son has a roof over his head, but that is not to say that that must be the former matrimonial home.
It is likely that you will need further advice before deciding on your exact entitlement which we will be happy to provide under our free advice service.
