My husband has abandoned the mediation process as we cannot agree on what should happen the family home. Purchased house almost 18 months ago with joint mortgage. Previous house was owned by me and mortgage solely in my name which was paid out of my bank account. Equity from sale was used to pay towards new property. We have one child of toddler age. I have applied to the bank and have received mortgage approval in principle to take over the mortgage on this property but my husband is adamant he is not leaving this house. I wanted to avoid the lengthy and expensive court battle but looks like i'll have no choice. Just looking for guidance on best route to proceed and if there is any chance i could get to keep the family home with my daughter
