A.   13 June 2014: Hello Tom. I am glad that things have calmed down. Based on the way that your wife changes her mind so much, perhaps it would not be a good idea to agree to sell the house. You might have agreed, based on the renting together idea, only to fi... (read in full...)

A.   6 June 2014: Yes, show her where the money has been spent and ask for an apology. In a way I am pleased that you have become a bit more irritated yourself. I am sure if she had simply asked, you would have provided the answers. It was rather unforgivable. In ... (read in full...)

A.   31 May 2014: Well how horrible and how deluded. The fact that she is paying the mortgage now, does not negate the fact that this has been a partnership. She can not simply kick you out or sell the house without your permission. However you get the advice, do ... (read in full...)

A.   30 May 2014: Tom, you can go to mediate or to a solicitor. Mediation first would be useful because it will describe both of your positions in an open, balanced way. Either way make sure you get advice and do not fall on your sword. Remember that you will have ... (read in full...)

A.   30 May 2014: You can't do anything that isn't part of divorce proceedings. Who will the children live with? You, she doesn't want the responsibility of them any more remember. In which case you get most of the money. How can you have a mortgage with so little ... (read in full...)

A.   11 May 2014: Do as he says, you have said enough. To him if you keep probing it feels like an intrusion. It is just the way he is and no insult to you. If they had a bad relationship he is coming to terms with that and a whole mix of feelings. One will be anger. ... (read in full...)
