Stopping the sale
You may have some options for stopping the sale of your home altogether.
Exceptional circumstances
The court may decide that there are some
exceptional circumstances which mean you can keep your home or at least delay its sale. These might include:
- you have a disabled child and the house has been adapted for their needs
- you're over 70.
I don't suppose the first point counts as H is an adult and not living at home. As previous said, she has mentioned bringing him home. But it's not an adapted home.
Second point, she may look over 70 but her age goes against her so in theory there's no reason to delay any longer. Shove her in a grotty bedsit and get those kids back to their father !
