This is my original question, posted on the Families board, which will give some background.

The girl has today been to the CAB who, she felt, were little help. They have basically told her that she is stuck.
The man has told her to write to her ex, and ask him to provide her with a letter saying that she has no financial interest in the property, and no financial responsibility towards the property. She can then take this letter to a solicitor to "get it stamped", and then she can approach the authorities and re-present herself as in need of support.
Other than that, it appears that there is nothing she can do (unless her 6 numbers come up on the lottery and she can pay for it all) to get away from this mortgage, and get away from her local area and start afresh.
If anyone can offer any opinions, I would be grateful. I am trying to find out anything I can to help her, as she is feeling so down, and so trapped at the moment, and is in a refuge situation with seemingly no way out.
