I will give a little history:
My parents marriage came to an end in the 90s. My father was a cheat and a drunk. Eventually he moved out from the family home leaving my mother and me and all my siblings. He bought another house. They spent a long time separated and never divorced. My father developed debt issues in recent years and the family home got caught up in his debt. His debt issues is down to alcoholism but he will maintain the loss of his business no doubt. My mother had to move on a divorce to separate herself from his debt.
I live at home with my mother. I work hard but my wage doesn't pay a rent. My mother got a letter for the divorce hearing. In the letter it said that it is likely the judge will order the sale of the family home. Needless to say this has shocked me and floored me. Living with this threat hanging over us. I am sickened too. My father left us to live in borderline poverty. The family home was in a bad way and I spent a lot of my 20s working hard and doing up the family home, for a treat for my mother. Like new kitchen and bathroom was needed. New sitting room too. The house was in bad way. So to discover 10 years later the family home was a black hole.
There was no mortgage on the family home. There was a small community loan on it but that was it, so there was no mortgage on the home. Its registered in my father's name.
I know I'm not considered a dependent any more because of my age.
Would a judge still order the selling of the home and put us out on the street? My mother is pension age?
If it does go that way, how long of a time frame would we be looking at? 6 months? 1 year? 18 months? To sell the family home.
This has been my home since I was small. It doesn't appeal to me to sort out 40 years of a live in every room and sorting it all out would reduce my working opportunities and earning opportunities too, so it will be a bit of double edged sword right there.
The hearing isn't for another few more months but I don't feel well with this threat hanging over us.
I don't think my father is looking for his share in the family home.
