I have been living in my ex's property since Jan this year, myself and his kids live here. He works interstate and comes back every 3 weeks, and resides at the property. We get along as friends however in June this year he made me sign lease papers to rent the property (he said it was purely for business purposes ) as he had brought 2 other properties...Anyway, I wasn't comfortable in signing as I had just gone on maternity leave from work and had his baby in July. He told me his child support money would cover the rent so I didn't really lose out!
Well, 98% of the child support money he gives me every month goes on the rent and I am left with $200 to last a month !! So really he is not forking out because I am pretty much paying his mortgage and it goes back to him.
I don't get money from Centrelink due to his income so literally I am reliant on him. (I hate to be as I have always been independent and worked). Anyway, I came to a financial hitch a few weeks ago where I was not going to be able to pay the rent (2 weeks). I called him and advised him on this and asked if he could help out. He told me to "f off" and he wasn't going to (we had been arguing beforehand) so I made the decision to pay what I had to and not do the rent...
Now he is taking me to tribunal, and the real estate have sent me a termination letter to move out...I was advised I didn't need to move as I am entitled to 70% of the house as I have his kids....However, I never wanted any of the house and was happy to just walk away with nothing, however due to not working I have nowhere to go and unable to rent elsewhere due to no extra funds...
What are my rights under Family Law? Do I have to leave in this instance? Can the real estate agents kick me out?
