We have been living in the same house for ten years since separating, as we couldn't afford to live separately. Our autistic child has turned 18 and is very dependent on me as the main care-giver. They hardly leave the home and are terrified of losing this home, due to their condition which makes change very difficult.
We would love to stay in the house and have my ex husband move out. Are there any provisions for an adult autistic person to be allowed to stay in the home with their care-giving parent? Or does the house need to be sold for us to split? My ex is not happy to, or in a financial position to pay his share of the mortgage and pay for another place and our child is now 18 so I don't think my ex has to pay any more? Is that correct?
Currently he pays the mortgage and house insurance and I pay the bills and food and other bits from my part time wage, leaving me with nothing at all for myself at the end of each month. He works full time and his wage is higher than mine.
I can't afford it on my own currently but have just finished training and am looking for a job that might allow me to cover the full mortgage of 1,800 per month. I really want to not share a home any more. I just need to figure out the best way to do that. As soon as possible.
