...that in a surprising turn of events the middle son put a proposal to his ex via his solicitor that is a "deal" that means they don't go to court and she doesn't get discovered for having committed benefit fraud and lying on her court submission papers.
The upshot is that yes he sells the house ASAP, they split the money and I get my loans paid back.
Now, she has "agreed to a deal" before, taken the offered money and then reneged on the deal, so I am not holding my breath.
She has until the 20th of Jan to sign the paperwork and then the court case gets cancelled. Or, she continues to mess about and it all goes to court and everything comes out in the court case including her lies and her false submissions to the court.
It DOES mean that he comes to live with us AND we have the kids (11 & 8) here 50% of the time (not great for us at 70, but needs must). There is now a battle between him and his Mum for the possession of the top floor of the house (the attic) Ha! Ha!
