My parents have lived in the family home for over 30 years, my father wants to demolish the house and build a few houses on the site. This would involve demolishing half the exisiting house and starting work on one of the new one's and would mean my parents living in the building site while the first house is built. After the first one is built my parents would move into the new house and my father would demolish the rest of the family house and start work on the remaining 2 houses. Now my mother does not want this to happen but my father is a very demanding man and basically what he says goes. What rights does she have? Can she do anything to stop him?
I can't see how you came to that conclusion having read the previous posts a second time looking for something along those lines.Some of the responses imply that the lady is behaving like a petulent child for not wanting to leave the home she's lived in for 30 years. How dare she be so stubborn!!

Well the lady has been married to him for 30 years, I think she knows by now better than us whether reasonable discussion with him is on the cards or not. From the OPs post I gathered not.
So you think that going behind his back and using a solicitor against him is a better option?
Ah now - thats a bit extreme!
What is wrong with educating herself about her position, rights and entitlements?
And can I be clear - the first thing the solicitor will ask is - have you tried discussing this with him? And if not, do you not think you should? And if you have, and he ignored you ( or whatever) then here are your options, what is it you want to do and what is is you want to achieve?
Its up to her what she does.

i agree with you 100% - but if the lady cant talk to her husband about the issue as it stands now, she is hardly likely to be able to tell him she is going to a solicitor about it.

Legal rights are all very well and good, the OP is looking for solutions.
