Some separations are characterized by nastiness, strong emotions, and even violence.  However, couples don’t have to physically move out their home to separate.  Couples can live in the same house, condo, or apartment for a long time.  When there is a lot of conflict, both spouses or parents staying in the home can be very difficult, especially when there are children around.  However, as many people have heard, there can be some serious legal repercussions from moving out of the home after separation. 

In this episode of the Ontario Family Law Podcast, Certified Specialist in Family Law, John Schuman, explains the implications of leaving the home after separation under Ontario Family Law.  He also goes over what you need to consider to protect yourself and your children.  This is an important episode for anyone who is considering separating or who is recently separated.  It explains some important rights in relation to the family home.
