Suppose a married couple with two kids (of school age) fall out.

Can the husband be forced to move out of their jointly owned house?

If he can, is that morally right?

Not my specialist field but, as I understand it, no - or at least not until proceedings get to court and only then if the court awards the other party the house.

Of course, whether the person would want to carry on living there while all this is going on is quite another matter.....

If the wife is a big enough bh she can do anything she wants.

Birds get it all their own way in matrimonial matters. On the other hand, they have horrible periods. Life has a way of balancing things out.


Is it moral? What do you think.

No he can't and he shouldn't because once he does, he can't go back.

Hypothetically speaking she can't do anything if she's buried under the patio. Hypothetically, you understand.

As above, no he can't unless there is a court order because of domestic violence etc or if it is part of the divorce settlement.
