Moving out does not give up your share of the property, but it can affect practical matters like access, bills and day to day arrangements for children.
Before you go
- Register home rights at the Land Registry if the house is in your spouse's sole name.
- Agree in writing who pays the mortgage and bills.
- Agree the arrangements for the children in advance, not afterwards.
- Take copies of important documents and financial paperwork.
- Take a note or photographs of the contents.
