Hello , I'm new here and find this forum to be helpful as there are a ton of information and advice on separation / divorce. I searched for an answer to a specific question and I'm not clear that I found one.
My wife has left me 3 years ago and she wants to be separated and not get a divorce, but she keeps putting pressure on me to sell the family home that is in both of our names and split the money, I don't want to sell as I want to keep the house for our kids.
I will likely need to get a lawyer at some point, but right now I was wondering if this statement that I read online applies for Ontario.
" If you and your ex own a home that is in both of your names, they cannot legally force you to sell the house. ... Your ex can try to force you out of the home, but they cannot legally. Until the divorce is finalized, you both have the right to remain in the home. Once you are officially divorced you may decide to sell"
I would really appreciate if anyone would kindly answer this question for me.
