Hello,I think for your friends sake he should do everything he can to protect his asset. It will affect his credit rating if he stops paying the mortgage and I'm sure he will need to get a new mortgage at some stage in the future.
If his ex-wife is being unreasonable and it sounds like she is, I would get his solicitor to write to hers stating that he is finding it impossible to live his life and cannot sustain the mortgage payments on his own. Either she pays half the mortgage until this is sorted out or he could always threaten to move back in. It's his house too (by the sounds lof it) and if she's made to feel uncomfortable she might be more inclined to be reasonable. Alternatively he could say he has to rent a room out in order to make the mortgage payments. Why would she try and sort this out? She's living in the house and having the mortgage paid every month.
I really hope it all works out for your friend but he's got a long road ahead of him by the sound of it.
