Anyone got a divorce?

Magnolia1
22 days ago

My husband is wanting to divorce me after 23 years. I am autistic and we have 14 year old son with autism and ADHD.

At first I thought we should go through mediation but now I am thinking Amicable lawyers look good. My problem is I find it really hard to make decisions so would need help in this.

We have a joint mortgage and I am terrified of losing the house but have no money to buy him out. I can't find any official advice on this. Some people have told me that he can't force me to sell whilst our son is living here with me and in full time education others have said because of his needs it is 25. 

Would like to hear experiences from others who have been through divorce and which method you used. 

Would also like to hear from anyone who knows the actual legal stance on the house. 

Thanks in advance

    I am so sorry to read about this dreadful situation you find yourself in. I've never been married so unsure of all the legal things but I think one of the best things you could do is to get in touch with Citizens Advice.

    Here's the link to their website: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/

    They are really good and offer advice and support regarding so many different things so I think they will probably be able to help you with this. My sister went through a divorce and I know she used Citizens Advice and found them to be very helpful so I think it's a good place to start.

    I really am sorry for you having to go through this. I hope you can find the support and help you need.
