The Supreme Court confirms that, in shared custody cases, use of the family home requires a case-by-case analysis and may be limited in time.
Practical points
- There is no automatic solution for every case.
- The financial position of both parents remains a key factor.
- Occupation of the family home may be temporary rather than indefinite.
If your matter is close to the situation examined in this decision, it is worth reviewing the facts, the available documentation and the applicable case law in detail before taking any further step.
