Hello, I am wondering if anyone can help me. Is there is any way to either take full ownership of my jointly owned property, or sell it without my ex husbands signiture. He was forcably removed due to domestic violence and has been living in the uk now for three years, with his new partner. He does not contribute to taxes or any bills to do with any maintenance. I currently reside in the property. He is not in contact but I know he will not sell this to make my life difficult.
I understand if i file for divorce then the house will be put on the table so to speak but I am really looking at how I can either own this outright or sell it without any involvement from him, or going through this painfully long drawn out process. Is the property classed as abandoned by him at any point?
Thanks in advance
