My son-in-law has left my daughter and two cildren aged 5 & 12, he owns 3 properties outright, 3 with another colleague, a caravan also with this other person. He has taken log book of daughters Car and says he will sell car and buy cheaper car and keep the difference! he also says she must leave the family home and go and live in one of these other properties.! Advice

Get down to the solicitors .....sooner rather than later !!

She should get a decent lawyer,she is entitled to some of the things accumulated during the marriage, also regarding the property where she and the children live,untill they have finished their education they will probably be able to stay there. best to get a really good lawyer though who knows his law. try citizens advise people they can advise her as to her rights and put her in touch with solicitors etc.**M**.

Get a good solicitor who specialises in divorce. FAST

Another thing, he hd the children for the night but won't give my daughter his address and we do not know where took them and my grandaghter 12 was shocked to se his girlfriends things there. Him 40 girlfriend 22 he hs only been gone less than 2 months and kids ar devistated.

Unless dau knows exactly where her children will be staying then my thoughts are that she should not let them visit. Consult solicitor.

Seeing one tommorrow, have told daughter to write everything down S-I-L real slippery and have told daughter to write everything down and keep a log of it.
Thanks for your kind words.

Best advice you can give dau - write everything down - if poss with dates and times not just since he left but before - if relevant.

I believe that if children go on to University - support has to continue until finish education or reaches 21 - whichever comes first.

On no account should she leave the home. And I endorse what others have said she urgently needs a solicitor.
If the log book was in her name I don't see how he can sell the car.

He may be surprised at how much she will be awarded in a divorce case.

Good luck to her. Stupid man, mid life crisis and no thought at all for his children.

I would change any joint bank account so that both have to sign to get money out too or she may find money starts to seep out quickly. I would also change any utility bills into his name if they aren't already. Then if he stops paying them they won't chase her for the money!!

It sounds complicated with all the properties so a solicitor is the best place to start. She must be very upset with all this, but she must really be savvy now and look out for herself and her children........he obviously can't be relied on to be fair.

She is entiled to half of everything he owns he can't put her out of the house as she has children and the car is in her name if he sells it counts as theft
See a lawyer as to make sure she gets what she is entitled to and even if he has house with some one else she is still entitled to his share
Also if he has a pension with his work she is entitled to half of that as well

I agree with everything that has been, first your daughter must not leave the house, and she must get a very good solicitor. Good luck.

I hope your daughter can get a good solicitor and take that awful man to the cleaners, she should write down everything she knows about his assets - he may try to pretend he doesn't own those ones shared with a colleague etc

If the children are upset by the visits, then they can refuse to go for the while, especially as your daughter has no address for him. He will have to apply to the courts to see them and that will cost him and take time, meanwhile your daughter can do all she can to keep things calm and as normal as possible for the children to help them through such a difficult time. She should also explain to their school about the situation so that the father cannot just go and pick them up without permission.

Good luck to her, sounds as tho she is well rid of him

Car not in her name but his, it's always been her car and he had a mitsubushi truck which he took when he left, he now says he is selling the Car saturday and will give her half of the money! she thinks she will not have enough to buy,tax and insure another vehicle, he has always been controlling and had everything in his name, daughter didn't have a credit card and he paid all bills ect so no money of her own. He was once a very generous person to her, but now he is with this 22 year old just doesn't seem to have any care about her or the children, still won't give her his address.

Carol.

Everything he says he owns ......is also hers .

Just get her to write down everything he takes, because he has a shock coming to him ....big time.

More important has she seen a solicitor?

If she has the car ....hide it ...end of ..No one in their right mind would buy a car they cant see!!

Went to Solicitor, the vehicle is her's as such as he had another vehicle that he took with him, she cannot stop him from selling the car.
