Occupation orders and new relationships - advice

[Annafarrell]

Hi all, this is my first thread so I am hoping someone can help or advice if own experience.
I am separated from my husband and have an occupation order in my favour until the divorce has been finalised.
Does anyone know if a new partner is allowed to move into my house or can my husband prevent it? Not a definite plan at the moment just something we have been discussing but would rather know if it’s just not an option anyway.

Many thanks in advance

Nothing to stop you, though if you get legal aid you must declare it, and if your H is paying maintenance above CMS levels he may want to reduce that.

Not getting legal aid or maintenance for daughter as in shared care. He doesn’t pay anything towards the house - the order states he relinquished financial responsibility. So that means he has no say at all until we agree sale / buy out in divorce settlement?

That's correct.

He could ask for financial disclosure from new guy if he moves in though.

Why could he ask for financial disclosure if he doesn’t contribute at all? I could understand if he was paying towards the bills but I actually pay towards his rent as I earn more than him :-(

When you sort out the split of capital, if one of you wants more than half then what other resources you can fall back on (the resources of a partner for example) is relevant factor.
