    Default Property Rights During Separation

    Hi , I have just found this board so thought I would post for initial help as have no yet appropached a solicitior . My husband of 7 yrs and I have 'come to the end of the road' : I am desperately unhappy and keen to ove out ASAP . We have two young children under 5 yrs . Two questions here .
    1. The house has just gone on the market , our first viewers are due today but now my husband says he wants to buy me out and live in the house , he has mortgage illustration drafted up and sent to him but he is doing nothing to actively pursue this . I feel he is keeping the children and I in the house intentionally as he did not want to break up . Can I give him a time limit on this or if we are receive an oofer on the house can i accept ? Mortgage currently in both names . I need my half of the equity in the house to move and cannot get another mortgage until I am off this one .
    2. We are going for 'seperation ' rather than divorce for now BUT does this have to be legal , do we need a solicitor to draw anything up to confirm we are seperated ? Also as we are still married how do we fare with owning half of each others possessions as we are seperated but not divorced . Obviously once he has paid me off my intersts in the house will be Nil but there are concerns as we are still married I may later appraoch him for more ( which i wouldnt but he doesnt know that ) Also for me in my new house , I dont him to be entitled to half of my new belongings.
    Thanks in advance
    Hilary

    This is a U.S.-based forum. You didn't identify your state, and laws are different in each state, but your language makes me wonder if you're even in the United States. So you need to fill us in on your location.
