You need to pay council tax in one home and obviously if your ex sees this as now being with your new bf he’s done the right thing unless you intend paying 50% of it?

Equally hes protecting himself so that you don’t run up debts etc by removing your name.

However as the property is jointly owned you have right of entry.  Have you discussed how you will split the home?  Do you have a child with your ex? Where is the child?

Hi,

sorry to hear of this. he cannot stop you by law from entering the house until you or him have been taken off the mortgage and the deeds. I know this as I have been trying for the last 2 years to get my ex-husband off the mortgage and deeds and until this is done, he has full access to the house (which I hate as he could just come in).

you will need to work out what will happen to the house, for example will he buy you out and if so. I would get the house valued and then you can work out what will be paid to whom.

happy to chat more if you want too xx
