I left the house and my children. Does this mean I do not have any rights ?

No.
Joint ownership of the property will not change unless your partner obtains a court order or you agree to transfer your share of the property to your partner or the house is sold.

You are still liable to pay the mortgage as is your partner. You should try to agree to divide the payments.

If you leave your children behind, but you want them to live with you, you can apply for a "Residence Order".

However, the longer they remain living with your partner the more difficult it may be to convince the court to change the arrangements.

You can apply instead to see the children regularly, this is known as "Contact".

How can I get my partner to help me pay the bills ?
