Frequently Asked Questions

The family home is held in my husband’s name. He is threatening to kick me out of the house. Can he do this?

No he cannot kick you out.  You have rights of occupation and a right not to be evicted from your home. 

Application can be made to the Land Registry that will not only protect your occupation but also prevent your husband from disposing of the property. The effect of such an entry on the Title can also prevent your husband from borrowing against the property and thereby reducing the equity in it.
