      Because he wont be patient and i’m not meeting him as and when he says due to us being homeless and staying with family, i dont know what to do because I also have rights to the house as its shared ownership, I was advised there isnt enough violence to apply for an occupation order? as he has been more emotionally abusive. I cant claim benefits because i have an asset in my name.

      Do i go for it full force with court now? We arent married either.

      Ring Rights for Women. They offer free legal advice and specialise in domestic abuse and vulnerable women etc. They can give you a better idea of how the law will see things. Meantime, save all his abusive messages and visit your GP and log how badly his behaviour has affected your mental health. Make sure you have a solicitor who had extensive experience of dealing with abusive men. My first solicitor was worse than useless and i had to get rid of her. My experience of using solicitors to write backwards and forwards is that the letters are not worth the paper they are written on. Its expensive and your solicitor will probably say that the court would want to see you have tried to sort things out blah blah blah. You cannot sort things out with an abuser. They just keep chaning the goal posts meantime costing you a fortune. Speak to a good solicitor. Find out what the law says you are all entitled to. Make him this one off offer via a solicitor letter (which he will refuse) they get straight to court. This is just my opinion. Its the same advice i was given by ladies on here. Sadly i thought i could negotiate through solicitors. I still thought there would be a reasonabke part of him. Stupid me! A very expensive lesson x

      Forgot to say. Dont listen to his threats. Go no contact. These men are pathalogical liars. They have controlled us for years by threats.

      Take a deep breath. You do not have to do anything right now. Doing nothing is also an option. Depending on your situation. Take a step back. Dont be intimidated by his bullying. Take some time to think about your next step. Get some advice whenyou can get through to rights for women. Or ring the helpline number on here. They can help with other agencies like housing. I know its overwhelming but dont allow his bullying to influence your decisions.
