This section is designed to help you work out the options and rights you have to your home if you split up from your partner.
It doesn't cover divorce proceedings (see the Adviceguide website for information), but there is some information about welfare benefits and other rights if you have dependent children.
If you are experiencing violence or abusive behaviour, you may have more options open to you. If you are unsure about anything, use our Advice Services Directory to find a local advice centre, or use the Community Legal Advice Directory to find a local solicitor specialising in family law.
