The family home is a sacred place for the children. The courts will always want the children’s lives to remain close to the status quo. If you decided to move out, to provide room for your ex-spouse. The courts may see this as you relinquishing the family home.  Moving out may cause problems later. This may lose you, your claim to the family home. It is important the courts see you prioritise the family and the family home.

Can we not sell the family home? In most cases, the courts will again prefer the status quo. So after the division of your assets, the home is divided. The courts may mandate the family home remains for the minority of the children, with one parent until the children have reached maturity.
