Hi all,
Firstly, I’m glad to know there are platforms like these that exist to help support.
So I received a breakup text from my partner. In that text she asked me to leave the family home, that’s rented and we are both on the lease agreement. I have paid 80% of the household bills since moving in.
Our son is 1.3 years, and I don’t want to miss any moment of his growth, as much as I can I want to be available. There is no record of domestic violence or abuse. I must add that I am on the birth of the child.
I am interested to know from those that have gone through a similar situation as I am going through,
a- can I still continue staying in the family house ?
b- do I get right to live with my child 50% of the time ?
C- any advice you may have
Many thanks in advance
As long as you are on the lease agreement you can live there however, finding new accommodation that suits you and your son is preferable.
Sometimes ex’s will go to the police and claim db/dv after a split, false allegations are rife in family court.
I would if possible get an agreement in writing with your ex on who has the children what days etc, school plans in the future pickups/dropoffs and provisions for Christmas/birthdays and holidays etc and both of you sign it.
If you have no luck I would suggest mediation or a solicitor to make a parenting plan(these cost roughly £1000+ vat) but this would always help incase it ever became hostile and you needed to go to court for child arrangements.
Appclose is a recommended app if you need to communicate with your ex.
