Selling our home

[Long journey ahead]

Does anybody know if I decide to leave my husband because he refuses to stop drinking with kosakoff could he be forced to sell our house so I can buy my own home.
I can't afford to rent in my current salary as I have had to work part time because he needs constant care.

ToLATA may help.
Very complex, you will need specialist legal advice, maybe a member of
STEP (Society Trust and Estate Practitioners)

The Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (ToLATA) allows the court to determine the extent of each party’s interest in the land or property and also how that interest can be dealt with. It can also allow them to order the sale of a property. When relationships break down, one or other of the parties usually moves out of the house, yet both parties may have an equal entitlement to remain in occupation. Long-term, the non-resident party will usually want the property to be sold and to receive their share of the proceeds or for their share to be bought out by the other party. They will also want to be freed from any obligations they have on the mortgage on the property. ToLATA sets the framework for this to be dealt with.

I really don't want to go down this route but as long as I am here my husband won't get the help he needs medically. If he is left much longer I feel the alcohol will kill him.
