My wife filed me for maintenance at the rabbinical court and included a plea to remain living in the family home. I filed a plea for a division of the partnership in the family home at the family court. What is likely to happen when my wife has asked to live in the family home and I have asked for it to be sold ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 27 June, 2022The Supreme Court has held that neither a wife or children have a right to be accommodated in the family home if a plea has been made to end the partnership in it. They have a right to alternative accommodation only ; it is merely a financial right, and they can claim it as part of the maintenance plea against the husband/father.
