Did she make any financial contributions to the house? Rent, board, etc? Contribute towards any adaptations to the building?
I rented a flat in chelmsford. Nice place actually. Left her with enough money to survive for at least three months while she finds an income. She hasnt worked in years, I've been supporting her. This is why she has gone potty about me leaving.
I could do what you suggest. I really dont want it to come to that even though, by any objective measure, she ****ing deserves it.
Being entirely serious now, in my experience of this sort of person (which is more extensive than I'd like due to my wife's ex being an actual, full-blown psychopath), you're best off going in hard and early. If the law is on your side, use it to its fullest extent. The longer you delay, the worse it will get.
