what council...... the divorce courts.... determine what you get...
you determine where you live.What would the council give me if i left my husband?
You need legal advice. If you are divorcing then the odds are in your favour that you and the children can remain in the family home because of the ages of the children.
If you just up and leave the council may consider that you have made yourself intentionally homeless and therefor they are not obliged to house you and the children.
You really should investigate what your options are before just up and leaving.
Try Citizens Advice Bureau or a fixed fee interview with a solicitor before you do anything.
If all of the children are his and you have lived there since you were married (hopefully for 13 or more years) you may get enough child support to afford the house, however, remember that your oldest only has 6 years left, unless he goes to college. But even if you could afford it at that point, could you afford the utilities, food and other items on top of it? Find out what you can expect on child support and then go from there. Start looking at places around where you want to live and find out what the rent would be. You will probably need a 3 BR place. Also, if you have to sell the home, your husband will have to buy you out if he plans to keep it, so that will give you some money. Also, get a good lawyer and don't forget about his pension/retirement. After all you have been married for over 10 years, right?
You don't have to leave the house, you are the main child carer right? It doesn't matter if the mortgage is in his name or joint names. If you are married, you are entitled to half. Even if you are not married, you would be considered common law and entitled to half. Were you planning on telling your husband you want out of the relationship? If you just leave, you will be making yourself deliberately homeless and the council won't help. I think you would have to prove physical abuse before they would help you that way. You will need to tell your husband you want out probably. Consult a lawyer for advice - there are lots that do a free first session - look in your local paper. Definitely get legal advice though even if it means hiding a little money away every week for a month so you can afford the fee if you can't find a free one. Don't rush into anything, that would be a mistake and you may find the council don't want to know. Your hubbie is still required to support you and the kids if you break up you know. Good luck
It doesn't matter whether the house is in his name or not, he would have to give you at least 50% of the equity. You would also be eligible to occupy the house until the youngest child is 18. Therefore the council wouldn't be very helpful as you would quite low down on their list.
I think you are probably in a difficult situation as the mortgage in his name but in divorce settlement he has to give you half.This means you would have money and therefore would not be in a needy case for a council property...its all very complicated.
depends where you are you will get a 3 bed as you haue 2 boys and a girl some places you bid on places so you can chose where you want to live bid means you put a ref in so you can see if you get the place you want their is a wait i do wish u luck
You need to speak to a lawyer right away and explain your circumstance. It could take a long time to get offered a council house.
Please wait until you speak to a divorce lawyer.
get a good lawyer it my cast a lot but it will be worth it in the end she/he will take everything from ur husband money, house, etc
the council will offer you something in an area no one else wants. A three bed-roomed house I would imagine
He would have to leave the house.
The council? Where do you live?
