In many divorces , the family home is the most substantial asset available to the parties to meet their respective housing needs going forwards. Whilst emotionally there can be an attraction for one party to retain the house, the extent to which this is possible is entirely dependent on each individual case. The house cannot be looked at in isolation, and it is important that any negotiations in relation to the property are considered alongside income and pension provision. If you are legal joint owner of the property which means that the house is owned by you and your spouse , you have right of entry and right of occupation until such time as a financial Order is approved by the Court. This means that you cannot be forced to move out of the property, unless there is a Court Order or, in circumstances where there are allegations of domestic violence , police bail conditions in place which restrict you being within a specified distance of the property. If you and your spouse are named on the mortgage, you are both responsible for paying the mortgage.
