My elderly (70) father needs to separate from his abusive wife (47) of 25 years. She is now the main breadwinner earning more, they have an overly large house, which is only in her name, as he was too old when they decided to buy, so she considers the house hers alone. He still works full time, long hours and contributes of course but she now earns about 10 times more and keeps all her money to herself. He wants to leave but wants to know where he stands with the house, and if he'd be entitled to anything as he'll need to rehouse himself and has nowhere to go ? Can he get an order for her to sell the house before divorce proceedings so that he can leave and*get himself somewhere to live or would he have to settle that during divorce ? He really needs to know where to start ? Thank you.*
