There are issues over the children but the property issues that you have
are fairly simple. The property that you live in is rented so there is no
claim there.
The items within the property were probably
purchased by you or him or both of you together. You will have to reach an
agreement on those items but currently essential items should remain with
you such as washing machine, most of the crockery, cutlery, bedding etc.
It would put you to considerable inconvenience if your ex tried to take
these items. However, their is no law that you can use as a quick fix to
resolve the position particularly if he purchased the items to which he
lays claim.
The car belongs to the parents of your ex. Unless
they wish to relinquish the title of the vehicle you will have to reach an
agreement with them to continue with its use. This is nothing to do with
your ex although he may put pressure on his parents to make life difficult
for you.
The children should remain with you. Your ex would be
hard pushed to obtain a
residence order for all
of the children and would have difficulties obtaining a residence order for
your joint child due to the current residence situation with the
half-siblings. He would have to demonstrate that he could provide
accommodation and stability which is better than that which the children
already have. This seems unlikely due to the new relationship which
appears to have come into existence after 5 minutes or so. The new partner
would also have to be considered in case he is a 'risky' adult which could
mean anything from a drug-user, a common ciminal or something more serious.
The point I make is that removing a 9 month old child from his usual home
into a new property and relationship is not the work of a moment. It may
be that the new partner has no interest in children which would make this a
non-issue. The burden of proof would be on your ex to make his case.
Once your ex leaves the property, you simply withdraw your
permission for him to enter the property. The tenancy is in your name, he
has no claim upon the property and will be trespassing if he enters the
property. I suggest you do not put it to him like this. Try with the "can
you let me know when you intend to come around so that I can be there?"
before you go in a little heavier with "it is appropriate to allow me to
use my property in peace as you do yours". You will have to play this by
ear before calling out the rozzers with the CS gas and night sticks.
You are
not married but your ex has
a responsibility yo his child which would include
child maintenance. There are also other options to
obtain lump sum payments for specific purposes but these types of order are
rare particularly given the age of your son.
