Maintaining mortgage payments during seperation
Posted on 22 June 2009
My wife and I have gone our own way but she has left and won’t pay half towards to joint mortgage! She also won't agree to let me sell it either! Where do I stand? If I can’t make the payments will they track her down for the money as well?
If you haven’t already done so, you should look to seek proper legal advice from a solicitor. It is vital that you both come to a formal agreement in order not to miss any payments on the mortgage if at all possible.
