Who has to leave the house in a separation?
Who gets the Family Home when you separate? In the event of a family law separation, both parties are legally entitled to live in the family home. It does not matter whose name is on the ownership of the house. There is no presumption that the wife or the husband has to leave the house.
Do I have to pay half the mortgage if I move out?
Paying the mortgage after separation A joint mortgage means you’re both liable for the mortgage until it has been completely paid off – regardless of whether you still live in the property. If you miss a payment or fall behind on payments, it will negatively affect both yours and your ex-partner’s credit report.
What happens if my husband stops paying the mortgage?
Not paying your mortgage will affect your ex-partner’s credit file in the same way it’ll affect yours. You’ll both go into arrears which will make it harder for either of you to obtain a mortgage in the future.
