I had similar problems with abuse first of all you need to speak to a solicitor because he cant do what he is doing if you can prove you were in the house before him

You also need to get hold off someone on the domestic abuse helpline and they can offer help and support I don't know where you live but I live in Wales so I don't know what help you can get in England

The disability side of things I am sure scope can help

If your in danger from this man you need to call the police and ask for a protection order so that he cant approach you are you in danger now
if you are call the emergency abuse help line they will get you help

@Poppy12 o have only just seen this post I havent slept can you see if you can access the phone numbers to the help that this lady needs

@poppy123456 this is my trigger this lady hasn't said much if she has a solicitor or anything but that's what she needs

Hi and welcome

I suggest you try and contact the shelter organisation who offer advice in housing solutions

Also maybe welfare advice or citizens advice

Have you had legal advice as to if he is actually entitled to half as I'm no expert but having seperated 3 times it's all legal minefield. Who is demanding the sale does he have legal representation

Too many questions to ask you need expert advice they may be able to hold off sorting it till your equity is available

Hello @Dack1967 and welcome to our community.

I'm sorry to hear you are going through such a stressful time. Just to clarify, is your ex-husband still living with you?

For support with your experience of domestic abuse, I'd recommend contacting Women's Aid. Their information and support webpage has links to an online chat, email service and online community, and they would be able to offer specialist help from people with lived experience and professional expertise.

I don't know if you have already read it, but Scope have a mortgage affordability and benefits advice page that could help you in relation to getting a mortgage. If you would prefer to speak to someone about it directly , Scope have a free helpline that you can contact on:

Phone: 0808 800 3333.
Textphone: dial 18001 then 0808 800 3333.
Calls are free from UK landlines and mobiles.
Email: helpline@scope.org.uk.

It's not surprising this is impacting your ability to eat and sleep but remember your wellbeing is a priority throughout all this. You come first. If you feel that your health is being affected, please contact your GP to talk more about it. Scope also have a sleep tips webpage that could help improve your rest, while on the community I started a thread about insomnia that you might be able to relate to!

I hope you have a good day and please make sure to lean on us for support

HI and welcome,

I don't have anything to add that's not already been advised, i'm sorry. It's just far too complex for me and you really do need legal advice regarding this. I just didn't want to ignore the tag and thought i'd welcome you to the community.

@dack1967 Ah dear, I'm so sorry you went through that. You definitely did the right thing by leaving the relationship.

I hope the links I left help you out and I am sure the future will be brighter for you

Lisatho11987777

Oh gosh you have gone through some tough times I have lupus do I also understand thst sseel I hope your daughter is OK asweli used to live in Carluke in Scotland its very hard to get help I was running with my children from domestic abuse I just left the house snd ran I only took it for 5 years some people don't understand why you stay with a nan thst does that to a woman its difficult if your ex husband was paying towards the house I hope that you can get the money if you resly have to

Its so hard to sort things out in one of your messages you put you dobt have alot ofcyime do you mean to get it sorted out with the money and the house because of your husband going to court and may go to prison

I hope you can get the support you need and the help you need you need to have time to think about yourself and your health problems and try and eat he has controlled you for 20yesrs its going to tske z whilst to get used to things tske care and stay safe ?
