Confused about responsibilities
I moved out of our marital home about 8 weeks ago at my wife's request. There was no adultery, violence etc. It was mutual.
I am figuring out how much I should/can pay to support my wife and 3 children, but due to the fact that I have not been working due to ill health I do not really 'have' and income at present, though do have savings I can draw on.
My wife continues to live in our marital home, and as far as I can understand it, the only way to force sale of the house is to enter into a legal agreed separation. Is that correct?
On a different note, do I/should I continue to pay 50% towards the mortgage and council tax? I would willingly do so, but as I am having to pay my own rent and council tax + bills etc, I do not have the resources.
What are my legal obligations as things currently stand (non legal separation) versus legal separation?
Thanks in advance
