Need some advice on getting my ex out of the house
Discussion
I'll try and keep this short and sweet. On 23rd December, I bought my ex out of her half of the house. I now own this house, and she's received full payment. I said she could stay temporarily, until her own house purchase went through.
Of course, little happens over the Christmas period, and her solicitors have been shut. However, it's now been nearly two weeks and nothing seems to be happening. When I asked my ex if she'd phone her solicitors in the morning to see how things were progressing, she started ranting about how she wouldn't do as I told her, how I was trying to "throw her out", and that she had rights and that I "can't throw her out."
Now I'm a reasonable man, but even the most reasonable man will eventually get fed up. I allowed her to stay here, rent free, for the sake of the children until she got her house sorted, but I feel so powerless that things are in her hands and she doesn't seem interested in moving things along. What are my options? Do I need to seek legal advice? I can't be having this going on for another month or more, I'll have a nervous breakdown.

She'll leave on her own accord fairly fast.

That's where you went wrong. You sould have defined the term explicitly. Your 'temporary' is 2 weeks, her 'temporary' is 6 months...Of course, little happens over the Christmas period, and her solicitors have been shut.

Are there kids in the house & are they yours?
Yes, there are two children, and they are mine. I will be having them 3 days a week when everything is sorted out.Good luck & please be patient for the sake of your kids.
Give her a chance to call them now that offices are back to normal.
She possibly went off on one because she is frustrated with the living situation as you, can't be easy for either of you
ETA - these are your kids?!?
FFS, you ought to be letting her & them stay until they CAN move out

How many business days have there been in the last two weeks? And how many of those were just catch up days, etc. I'd say give it a week and then find out what's going on. have you thought about moving out while she gets it sorted, get her to pay for a hotel? As the settlement is all sorted there wouldn't be changing locks to worry about.
