Advice needed for my daughter please, desperate situation.

[hayclan]

Hi All, Can anyone help/advise my daughter please? Basically 5yrs relationship with man & have a 5yr old daughter, my daughter lived with him all that time at his council flat, the property was condemned and eventually they were offered a accepted a lovely house (Council), tenancy in both names etc he then drops a bombshell saying he has met someone else & wanted my daughter & his daughter out the house!! he was livid when he was told by the council that he can't evict her etc (he has not a clue about equal rights sigh) she has phone recordings & screenshots of of his venomous words & threats & he is demanding rent from her as the H/B is paid in his name!! anyway my daughter refuses to speak to him so sent him a letter saying she will not be moving out & will move her daughter into her bedroom which they will occupy whilst she is there & buy her own food etc etc, his reaction to that was to throw everything she & his daughter own filled to capacity the smallest room with them, you cannot even enter the room & many things are broken, he has put locks on the other bedroom doors & stuck KEEP OUT on them, She has contacted Police for help who say it's a civil matter as he hasn't broken any laws therefore a Council matter as it comes under Anti social behaviour, Council said they can't do anything as they both have the tenancy. She is besides herself & doesn't know where to turn please can anyone advise asap, must also mention that she had to de-register her daughter from school & keep her away from him as every time he is with her he tells her how useless her mum is & how fab his new GF is, my daughter wants her child to attend school, it's all a big mess & something needs doing, she has contacted the CAB who told her to contact the Police etc but no one can/wants to help, can any you peeps help please? & thank you. x

I think your Daughter should try have a chat with Womens Aid and/or Shelter. This is not a good position to be in and could so easily escalate. The priority is to ensure she and your granddaughter are safe. She may be able to apply to the court to have him removed from the property - I believe it is an Occupation order - not sure if CAB have been through that with her already ? MAS have a bit of info https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.u...ing-separation but her best bet is to speak to womens aid, refuge, shelter etc explaining the situation and everything that's gone on and see what they suggest.
