Response to husband left and has stopped paying

You need a solicitor - and fast. You have an interest in that property and can sue your husband for a proportion of it's market value. However, in reality if he left and stopped paying the mortgage, you are going to have an uphill battle to get anything from him. The house will probably get repossessed/sold, as your name is not on the deeds (why?) and you are unlikely to be able to stop the Northern Rock short of a court injunction. Your husband is STILL obliged to pay you child support and the amount of any monetary judgment you get. Get down to a solicitor first thing and register your interest.
