My daughter is fighting to get her flat (council rented joint tenancy) back from her ex-partner (not married). They have a 4 month old son together which my daughter has care of.
There have been several domestic incidents between them right from the start but recently it was brought to a head when she had to call the police. There is also a non-molestation order in place.
The police advised her to go to a place of safety because the ex refused to leave and has done so ever since as he says if he does he will be homeless. She has since been 'sofa surfing' between my house (2 bedrooms both occupied) and my fathers house (5 bedrooms but currently being renovated so she sleeps in the lounge).
Thanks to a wonderful domestic abuse charity my daughter has had court representation but the ex does not. My daughters representative has informed her that it is very unlikely she will get her flat back due to a couple of factors. 1) She has been staying in a house with 5 bedrooms albeit none of them usable 2) He says if they give her the flat back he will be homeless and 3) He has moved his new girlfriend of 3 weeks into the flat and she has a child.
Has anybody got any experience in this field or have any advice would be very much appreciated
