Mandyloo, I just think UK law works for married couples only, although it seems that you have taken a bad fall you are actually in a better place to heal.
Own space and no control from ex and his wife, you are surviving without support and that is what is important, your son has a strong role model.
I'm sure if you had fought on until the end that your ex would have had to allow you to remain in the family home, but then he would have had a hold over you.
I am in a fighting position and thats what I am going to do, fight all the way.
my H is suggesting that I couldn't have got to where I am without his input, he is being proved wrong on a daily basis.
He has lost so much over the past two years and he has managed to do so all by himself, I hope one day he does realise what he has lost, but like so many I think it will take forever for that to happen.
The one thing he has lost is the respect people had for him, including our sons, to loose the respect of your children is the saddest thing to happen.
