    This is a matter for the housing department, call them.

    Exactly. The house was allocated to a couple not an individual.

    If they moved in "together" she might have gotten a house for "a couple with five kids"

    Now she is separated with 3 kids, she might not be entitled to the house in her changed circumstances, same might apply to him.

    she was allocated the house for her and 3 kids 5 years ago after 1 year he moved in with his 2 kids he is also the father of her kids, they got married and were all put on the rent, so council know he is living there and all the kids the last 4 years, she left and now wants to come back and reckons she is the one entitled to live there not him,

    Then I believe it has nothing todo with the council. She will need to get legal advice if she has not done so she should go to legal aid board. It's a family law matter not really up to landlord to sort out.

    I agree with Infosys, if his name is on the rent book, as you put it, then he also has a right to be there. The council does not have the authority to sort out disputes like this so a solicitor is required.

    The fairest option is that both parties re apply for housing.
