money after seperation

[Beanmistriss]

When my boyfriend split up with his ex she couldn't afford to buy out his share of the house completly so got some money then and a court order was put in place that the house would have to be sold or re-mortgaged when his youngest child turned 18 and he would recieve the rest of his money then. The youngest child will turn 18 next year and he currently lives with us. We have just found out that the mother is pregnant, she is not together with the dad so she will be a single mum. My question is, will they still make her give the money to my boyfriend when his youngest child turns 18 or will they take the fact she has a new baby into account and will he have to wait longer? I have posted this in law too but thought i'd try both. Thanks

surely they cant expect him to provide a roof over another mans child? And as 'their' youngest child is living with you surely this means his half can be sold/bought now? as she is no longer providing him with a roof over his head?

seems some fathers are over punished while others walk about scott free!

Well you'd like to think so wouldn't you but hes been shafted so much up untill now that nothing would surprise me. He could have made it be sold earlier but didn't want to add pressure to the already fragile relationship he has with his daughter who, although an adult, still lives there.

This exact situation came up in my sister's life 7 yrs ago and it makes no difference to the selling of the house, as the child is not your boyfriend's. ......unless things have changed in the 7 yrs of course.
