<p>Hi,<br>I just want to get a little advice from anyone who really knows what we can do in our current situation.<br>Me and my ex-partner of 10 years bought a house in 2014 only for me to find out that he was cheating for most of the year and we broke up in 2015. His name was still on our mortgage and is currently listed, he left the house completely, said he didn't want anything to do with it, and hasn't paid a penny since. Now we have received a letter from a lawyer on his instructions, which says that we have until February to either remove his name, or after that the house will be put up for sale. This will, in fact, make me, my new partner and 2 children homeless.<br>Due to Covid and everything that has happened this year, my partners ' working hours have been reduced at his workplace, and he only works half the hours as usual, and I am currently not working for the first time since I was 15 due to my health. Our financial situation is small. It will cost us to start the process of removing his name from the mortgage, which we do not have, and I doubt that the mortgage company will allow me and my partner to take over the mortgage, given our current circumstances.<br>I suppose what I really want to know is that after everything he's done to me, shouldn't he be paying the mortgage company to delete his name, not me? And also can he really force us to sell out in the end and potentially make us all homeless?<br>Also, should I write to his lawyer myself and explain the situation as I described above? Since we are definitely not able to pay for a lawyer.<br>Please, any advice will really help.<br></p>
