    My rights after a relationship separation (child involved)
    I have separated from my partner of 6 years, I moved out of the family home and rented a house further down the road. I have asked my ex-partner to either buy me out or sell our house. We purchased the property in joint names 5 years ago. He put down most of the deposit but didn't protect this as advised by our solicitor at the time.

    He has refused to allow me to get a valuation for the property and says it's inconvenient. I just want to get things moving so we can both get on with our lifes.

    We currently share child care 50/50 of our son although I think he finds this unsettling, I would like my son to be with me through the week and go to his Dads on weekends. I think this would be in my sons best interest as he needs routine and continuity.


    Am able to stay in our property with my son and make my ex-partner move out or do we have to agree to buy the other out or sell the property?

    My ex-partner has also stalked me by parking near by to my house and watching the house,he has walked straight into my house without an invitation, he has installed spyware onto my mobile phone, he has phoned my parents and givem them an abusive tongue lashing.

    I am at a loss of where to start in sorting all this out.

    Please help.

    you have already moved out, so you need to sue them to force either a sale of that home or for them to buy you out.
    The court may or may not allow, But for getting the home valued, you are still 1/2 owner ( assuming you are on deed) so you just do it, there is no requirement that the other owner has to agree. You can merely tell them when it is going to happen and you take care of it.

    I guess you are still the 1/2 owner and have a legal right to move back into your home also if you so want.

    Next sorry no sharing equal time with the child is normally in the chids best interst, taking part of the child's time away from father is merely using child as a weapon since you are made at your ex.

    Part of the issue is that you were not married, and as such property division is not set by divorce rules. So you will have to sue for your property and right.

    You need a lawyer period, to guide you through the separation of jointly own property, and to get child support, and custody set up.
