Construction loan - Ex-partner does not pay his share

Yes, all the more is right here that the children should be kept out of it. In my opinion, the place should be sold as quickly as possible, if necessary even by court auction. The children should do their own thing and especially the ex. I also find it absolutely unacceptable to involve children in such matters. It can't be completely avoided anyway, but one should definitely not do it consciously.

Even if the children live there? Should dad indirectly put them out on the street with that? The ex doesn't come off well here. She "abandoned" the children (at least one is barely still a minor), moved in with her boyfriend, signs contracts and thinks she doesn't have to stick to them. That's all quite harsh, but I want to remind you that we are hearing one side of the story here. I do not want to question the facts mentioned, but if she tells her version, it will probably sound quite different. Selling the house while the children live there is certainly not a decision that promotes the relationship between father and children. The poor man’s hands are so tied, this is a real dilemma. The ex-partners should ideally come to a solution between themselves. And as the situation was described, apparently one of them needs to be very clearly reminded of their obligations. Can he legally enforce that she pays her share of the installments? What I've been wondering all along: There was an outstanding amount x. Now the partner of the OP has paid half. And the other half should be paid by the ex. But that’s already not right, since apparently he has serviced the loan alone so far? How long has that been going on? One would expect both to share the installments. Basically, he facilitated the situation by tolerating her arrears for some time or paying her share. It could have long been expected that she wouldn’t pay voluntarily.

So you’re basically supposed to completely skip the "children," kick them out the door, and each of them is supposed to find their own apartment? Basically just throw the result in their faces without any participation. One of the then grandchildren can still take the 87-year-old grandma along...

Even if the children live there? Is dad supposed to indirectly throw them out? The ex doesn’t come off well here. She “abandoned” the children (at least one is barely not yet of age), moved in with her boyfriend, signs contracts and thinks she doesn’t have to stick to them. That is all strong stuff, but I want to remind that we are only hearing one side of the story here. I don’t want to doubt the stated facts, but if she tells her version, it will surely sound quite different.

That’s how it is in Germany. The mother has abandoned the (almost) adult children. Yet obviously, the dad did that much earlier. Otherwise, the mother would not have been left alone with the children. And now he is even trying to drag the children into his cause because the new woman is interfering in matters that don’t concern her.
