Hi,

My husband and I have decided, very recently, to separate. We live in social housing, tenancy in joint names. i'm looking for advice on how this works. Who would keep the house/tenancy and would the other person be eligible to be re-housed? We have 2 dc and will be sharing custody 50/50.

ps. sorry if this is the wrong place for this post.

Contact your local housing office or housing association. Different councils/HAs may handle this situation differently depending on circumstance.

Thanks for the reply.

I work full time close to the house, my h is stay at home dad following being made redundant a few years back. our custody arrangements will be split 4 night to 3 week one and alternate the next week, so no-one will be doing anymore.
I would rather leave to make a fresh start and the poor memories but not into temp accommodation or smaller property.

I would assume that in your situation, it is up to you....usually it would be whoever has the children for most nights a week. As there are 7 in a week...one of you wll have 4 and the other 3? Unless you're rotating that? Do either of you work?

If one works close to your house then imo that person needs to keep the house.
