What happens to the family home after separation?

It depends on ownership, custody arrangements and what the spouses agree: one may stay, the home may be sold, or one may buy out the other.

Can the other spouse be made to sell?

If no agreement is possible, the court can be asked for an appropriate solution under the law and the ownership terms.

How is each spouse’s share decided?

By the title deed, contributions to the purchase and repayments, and any agreements between the spouses.

What about a mortgaged property?

The mortgage obligations must be taken into account, with the bank involved in any sale or transfer.

Can we settle without going to court?

Yes. We help draft a clear, enforceable written agreement.

Overview

Joint property is what spouses own together, such as the family home, investment property or joint bank accounts. On separation they need to establish each one’s share and agree what happens next: selling and dividing the proceeds, one buying out the other, or continuing joint ownership on clear terms. We guide you through each option and protect your rights.

The home you shared deserves a calm and fair solution.
