No, we were never married or engaged. Both of our names are on the deeds and mortgage. The mortgage is with a collections agency now. I haven't engaged with them for a good few years as they were not helpful at all. My solicitor is really busy and has other interests which I believe is his focus at the moment. His fees are paid up, yes. Apparently there is a letter I can send my ex to initiate proceedings. I am thinking of applying for legal aid but I am unsure if they will cover this matter. I don't know where to go from here.
