You say that you cannot afford to take over the mortgage. But have you considered that he will have to pay maintenance towards your son in order to keep a house over his head? Do you know how much maintenance you are likely to get? Also, if he buys you out of your half of the home and you get a cash sum, won't this then impact upon your right to a council house? You need to see a solicitor and find out exactly where you stand. Now, have you thought about letting your mum or a friend stay at the house next week? In fact, you could appeal on Mumsnet for the contact details of either the Mexican House Thief or The Tiny Korean Lady. He would have trouble getting rid of either of those!
