In 1988 my natural father died. as he was a trucker he took out numerous insurances through his employer to make sure in the event of his death that myself then aged 11 and my 12mth old sister along with my mum were well cared for financially. the house was then in soley my mums name after his death with no mortgage. in 1991 she met my step father who duly moved in with us and they got married. the money that came from my dads insurances was used as a family and by my step dad (we are talking well in excess of £30,000. my step dad came into the family with nothing, no job, no money and only a very small pension. over the course of time the money was used on house improvements etc. my step dad in 2007 decided he wanted a divorce out of blue. since then my mum has at the age of 56 had to go back to work for the first time in almost 30yrs (it was my dads view that he earnt and mum would look after the home and kids). she has very few upto date skills but found work in a shop paying minimum wage. my step dad instigated the divorce and is now living in a £350,000 house with his new girlfriend, driving a £28,000 car and now claiming half of my mums house (which is as mentioned mums property). mediation has been tried and the mediator came to a figure of 11,000 as a settlement. we have since recieved notice that my step dad is going to court and wants half the house. i need some advice, my mum is not a priority for council housing, she cannot afford rental (even after sale of house rental money would run out within 4 yrs due to prices). our solicotor says a court wont look at both sides and make a decision but will simply order the sale of the house. what im looking for is, are there any circumstances in which a court would look at the circumstances and award a settlement based upon death. where mum stays in the house and step dad gets his settlement upon mums death (step dad is 11 yrs younger than mum with own business he has started, and has greater earning).

Since they are married legal rules says that both have equal share in the house. Moreover, the law might not look deeply into your part and would order to sell the house to resolve the dispute. So, it’s important to consult with an expert attorney who might be quite aware of the legal rules and will resolve the case in a profitable way.

I fear this is going to be very long, please be patient and read carefully. i need help!!! * keep in mind, my step mother owns this home and my father and her are not married. just an fyi. * also, we are 3rd shift people. so, when we were talking about moving in we made it clear that we are private people and do not like being disturbed during the day, we also wanted a 24 hour notice (i told her that i meant that quite literally), they said that was no problem. * march 2009 - my step moms aunt dies, leaving her with a condo and some cash. april 2009 - my father and step mom move into the condo and then start talking about renting her home. * later in april we come to them asking if we could rent the home, they jumped up and said, yes yes! we made an agreement to pay them $850/month, which was clearly more than her house payment seeing as how she has lived in the home for 30 years, i didn't say a word though. they said not to worry about a deposit or last months rent, they also stated that there was a lease written up but we didn't need to sign it right away, so silly us did just that, we waited. we started to pack our things and told our current landlord we would be out by may 1st. april 30th - my father says that there is too much stuff in the house and they probably wouldn't be out for another week or two. we decided to go ahead and make the move in date june 1st. may 1st - we called our current landlord and told him it would be june 1st instead. he proceeded to tell us that he wanted to sell the home, he needed us out by june 1st at the very latest. * we already had our stuff packed up and ready to go. come june 1st my step mom still had a crap load of things in the home, nowhere near ready for us to move it, but we had no choice, so we moved in anyways. july 31st 2009 - finally, all of her things are out! she didn't give us a break on rent either, we still paid full rent even though we were storing her items. the 2 car garage and basement were full of her junk, i mean full, side to side, top to bottom. we experienced some pretty high moving expenses since we moved a good distance away, it was about an hour away from the home we were living in. so, i told her that august and septembers rent would be a few days late, we needed to get caught up from the moving expenses that we ran into. she proceeded to tell me that her house payment wasn't late until the 15th so it was no big deal. fathers day - she comes over unannounced and starts mowing the grass, early in the morning mind you. i come outside in my pj's and ask her what she is doing on the property since she hadn't given any notice. she started talking and i kid you not, it smelled like she had been drinking for a month straight, i actually had to step back away from her. she starts crying saying that her and my dad are fighting. long story short, it took me an hour to get her off of the property, nicely of course. also keep in mind that i really haven't known her very long. two weeks later i am upstairs, naked, sorry, getting ready for my shower. i hear the door open and she yells, are you guys home? i hear my poor dog barking his head off. i ran downstairs, in my towel, and asked her what gave her the impression that she had a right to walk into the home that we pay rent for. she proceeded to tell me that she just had some paperwork for me, she figured it would be okay to come inside because she always makes herself welcome when she visits her other step daughter, and she said it just felt weird knocking on the door of the house that she lived in for 30 years. ** keep in mind that i cannot lock the door from the outside because she has yet to provide me with keys to the house. it is a victorian home and she cannot find keys to these old locks. it is a safe safe city, almost zero crime, so she never locked the doors. i have told her that i do not care, that is not how i run my home. she has also told me that she doesn't want me putting new locks on because they are old wooden doors, she will find the keys eventually, so she says. september 1st 2009 - i sent her a $650 check. with that check i sent her a letter stating that she could have the rest of the rent ($200) once we have keys to our home. september 11th 2009 - still no keys. my father calls telling me that there will be a for sale sign in our yard by tomorrow, saturday. he said it was because she cannot afford both the condo and the house we are currently renting. he said the bank was going to take the home if she was late on a payment. i said, but dad, she said her payment was not late until the 15th and we have never been close to being that late on rent. he claimed to have no idea that her payment wasn't do until the 15th. i spoke with her after breaking down on the phone with my father. she said that she was laid off and just can't afford this anymore. i said, great, so here we sit with no lease. i asked her how we could prevent a for sale s ** cont: i asked her how we could prevent a for sale sign from being put in front of the home that we are finally settled in to. she said, well, i will need that $200 you owe me for rent, and a promise that you will turn in the rent on the 1st from here on out, if not i will be there with a for sale sign. i told her that i would sell my soul if i had to, she would be getting that payment on the 1st from here on out. then i said, i will give you that $200 once you hand over keys and once you present me with the lease that we should have signed 4 months ago. she said, you gave up the right to have a lease when you moved in. i said, what? she says, if you want a lease then i will need an $850 deposit and $850 for the last months rent, then you can have it. i trully had no idea what to say, i could not believe this was happening. she then proceeded to tell me that we had let the house turn to sh** over the summer. i have not let the house turn to crap, i do not pick every single weed that pops up, no, but i do plant flowers, pull weeds once a weekend along with mowing, all of that jazz. she is just on a power trip. she misses the home and that is that. when we moved in she told us that the yard work was our responsibility, now she wants to poke her nose in our lives 24/7 because she is laid off and has nothing better to do than to sit at home, pester my father (who is having liver failure) and drink drink drink. 1. can come over to plant the flowers she likes and pull tiny weeds as long as she gives me 24 hour notice. * i enjoy planting flowers with my mom, that was one reason i moved closer to home, so i could bond with my mom again. now i have my step mom butting in all of the time, i cannot stand it anymore. 2. if she comes over drunk and smelling like alcohol, do i have the right to call the police if she insists on lingering around? 3. what do i do about this lease situation? are we screwed? 4. if i turn the rent in on the 2nd, not the 1st, does she really have a right to come and slap a for sale sign in the yard? any other suggestions? i am stumped. i am just worried, my fiance and i are getting married in october, the winter is coming up and here we sit scared that she will just up and sell the place. she told us that we would have to have the house ready to show within 24 hours if somebody called about it, etc etc etc. this is all ridiculous to me, we are finally settled in and now this. anything? thank you!!! ** please give me your email address if you would like to talk away from yahoo answers, that is fine with me, i need advice! badly.

1. Yes she can...as long as proper notice is given. You legally do not have the right to alter her property with your planting without her permission. 2. Sure you can call the police...but I can't say what they can or would do. 3. Without a lease, you can be easily told to vacate with as little as 30 days notice. You can't force her into a lease with you now. 4. She legally can slap a "for sale" sign on the property any time she wishes. It's her home and she has the legal right to sell it. Nothing you can do to stop that. It's never a good idea to rent or do business with family. Rarely does anything ever good come of such an arrangement. I would start looking around for a new, less stressful, place to live.

I was 20 years old when i was asked by dhs to take my sisters twin girls. i on the other hand was engaged to be married and 6 month's pregnant with our child. we agreed we would care for the girls until my sister went through drug and achol classes and parent classes. unfortantly she did not want to change her lifestyle so the court filed a petition for the girls to be adopted either by me or they would place with another couple. i thought to myself this is a big decision to me to make and a bigger one on the man i was recently in a relationship with. i talked to him that night and said to him i understand by asking you to take on the responsibility of raising two more children is overwhelming but this is something my heart is telling me to do i already had to live my life without a mother she died of cancer when i was 3 years old and i can't bring myself to let this happen to these innocent little girls. he said to me i love you and will be with you every step of the way and thats how we got to where we are. over the years i have had problems with my sister letting her into my life helping her whenever she needed. she married and had 3 more children moving from place to place, drugs, and loosing and keeping the other 3 girls she had. i was always there for her and my nieces. she always seemed to resent the fact that the girls called us mom and dad and we had a loving family (which took alot of time and patience) the girls were well taken care of and couldn't ask for anything. when the girls got to their teenage years it was difficult to handle the emotions and normal teenage years. when they turned 18 one of the girls left while i was at work and this tore my world apart i didn't know where she was or anything on the other hand i asked her sister where do you think she may be and all i got was lies. then a couple days later i find out they had been talking to my sister their biological mother she was doing and saying things behind my back to the girls. i talked to my daughter and asked why didn't you tell me where your sister was why have you let me go through the pain of not knowing she got mad and left and called my sister to come and get her down the road. after that a couple weeks passed and i found out she kicked them out on the street told them horrible lies about me. soon i find out the teacher at the christain school where i had the girls enrolled is also buddying up with my sister and now is trying to adopt my 19 year old daughter i got a summons to court saying i never adopted them i abused them i let my husband (the only father the girls has ever had) abuse them. i hired a lawyer and the judge called me and i told him that these girls had a wonderful childhood any kid could have. after talking to him he asked if i would come to the office and talk to him i did he said this sounds like a law and order episode and was stunned. long story short he also called the girls and had them come in his office it was the first time we had laid eyes on each other in two years they had children of their own also. i was sad, glad, and still an emotional wreck but managed to go they told the jugde the truth that they had a good life and the teacher and my sister made them say alot of things that wasn't true. he threw it out of court and now i have one of them living on my property with my granddaughter and its wonderful but her twin sister refuses to have anything to do with us still and has everything to do with my sister. i will never understand this cause my daughters are my life. she wants nothing to do with me and will not let me see my grandchildren. my sister gave up nothing for those girls i gave them everything love, comfort, family, and most important my heart. i hurt everyday of my life wondering where i failed at being their mother.

Wow that is the most touching story I've ever heard! I believe that your sister is jealous of you. She wants her children back and she regrets doing what she did to them. Now she thinks that you are trying to steal her children from her, and she feels jealous that they call YOU their mother, not her. So now she is trying to get her children back by telling them lies and rumors about you, causing them to hate you and turn their back on you. I must say (no offense) your sister is wicked! You raised her children all your life even though it would be overwhelming for you and she repays you with this kind of act? What kind of human is she? She should be grateful that you kept her children alive and gave them shelter, food, and most importantly, love! You never considered once that they were not your children, and you treated them like they were your own! I have to say that you must let your other daughter go. I know it must be really painful for you, and its like asking you to cut off your arms and legs, but you need to move on. At this age, you need to be thinking about your self. Be grateful that one of them is living with you, it means one of them has sense. The other needs to learn still. You will see how much she regrets when she finds out that you are a true mother, not your sister. But its what she deserves for not accepting you. Still, you need to consider that your sister is their birth mother, and they still do have a bond with her. I wish so very much that I had the magic words to make all of this go away. I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. I don't know what it is today but there are so many of us in very smiliar situations. Children who just don't relate to their parents. Just know that you are not alone! I really hope this makes you feel tons better, and remember, Hakuna Matata-no worries! :) <3
