Seperated Spouse

Hi I have recently seperated from my husband. He moved out of the family home about 6 weeks ago. We intend to go for mediation but there is a waiting list. My husband has retained a key of the family home and comes and goes as he likes - can anyone tell where I can find out if his is legally entitled to do this. (I cannot afford to go to a solicitor at this time). He is not a physical threat to me so I cannot take out a protection or barring order.

I want to know what my legal position is before I request that he does not come to the house uninvited. We have one child aged 16 who he occasionally comes to collect.

Regards

Gosling

If he is also the owner of the property and he is not of any threat then i believe he can come and go as he pleases. Maybe you could have a chat and try sort something out like he gives you a call before he arrives!

I guess it's going to boil down to how you are getting on....good luck;)

He really has as much right to be there as you do. Have you decided how things will be in the long run? Will you be selling the house or buying him out or remaining joint owners. You should really try to sort something out between you as these situations tend to get very messy
