Splitting after affair and house - advice please

Hi, posting for a friend who is financially in a weak position (works but low income). She’s trying to split from her husband after many years. She has been for legal advice but it sounds wrong. He owns 1/2 of their house, someone else owns the other half. She understands that she will get half of his half of the house when they divorce but seems to think she’ll never be able to get him to leave, is this correct? I don’t know much about it but have seen some knowledgeable people on here before and was hoping for a steer. Many thanks

who owns the other part of the house? sounds like he will have to buy her out?

It's never guaranteed that one particular person gets to stay in the house.

So she has no wether she or him or anyone will stay in the house. The house being part owned by someone else makes it more complicated.

It may be a case of him or the other owner buying her out.

Thanks for these. Sounds like it’s not going to be straightforward. (The other person lives there and wants her to stay, so that wouldn’t be a problem if her husband would let her buy out his quarter but I think he’s trying to not - trying to not be too outing). It’s just a horrid situation.
