Living separate and apart doesn’t mean you have to move out. As long as your relationship is over, you can share your home while you make other decisions about your new life. Be aware you may have difficulty convincing a judge you plan to divorce unless you are sincere about separating.
Who gets the matrimonial home depends on the decisions you make as a couple. Joint tenancy and divorce can be complex. In joint divorce, you decide if you want to live separately and apart in your own home or let children live there with the primary caregiver parent. You can sell, rent or even transfer ownership to a trust for minor children and stay there during parenting times. The choice is yours.
