Spouse A wants to buy Spouse B out of family home but is struggling to afford it.
If Spouse B offers to buy Spouse A out instead, can Spouse A put anything in place to stop B then selling it later?

No they cannot, once to belongs to spouse B it is their property to do with as they wish

Thank you for clarifying. I didn’t expect it to be possible but I have been surprised on so many things about divorce before.

Perhaps speak to a solicitor for clarification.
