Hi sorry to hear about you & your husband separting. This must be a difficult time for you.
In regard to your house I would say Yes! because the most substantial capital asset owned by a couple is their house. Regardless of whether the house is owned by one of them or by them jointly, a sale of the property and a division of the sale proceeds may be necessary to meet their needs.
There may be sufficient funds available to buy them each a new home. That would be the ideal solution. Where there is not enough money, the priority is to provide a home for the children, more often than not with their mother. The court does however recognise that it may not be fair to deprive the husband of his capital in the long-term and has a wide discretion to make whatever order it thinks fit.
Try this website it will be of some help to you and they have forums that will answer any questions
Good Luck

Hi "Never mix business with pleasure", your home should be separate to the business, and your husband should realise that yes his business is important, but more important is his son (and you). He is only 6 and as the years pass he will miss so much of his son's life and your son will only have memories of you with him and his dad never being home and it most probably will cause resentment, i also feel sorry for the people he made work at Christmas, he should realise that family is important, and that having a home to relax in at the end of the day is everything, not a flat upstairs of his carvery. What i am saying is no i would not sell my home not for all the caverys in the world.

Actually, depending on if you live in the U.S. or not, the answer is NO. Only the court can order a marital asset sold or otherwise disposed of.
You have no authority to force another party to do anything.

Why can't you and your husband decide on one of you keeping the house? If you have children they should be able to stay in the house and not move.

Yes. But he has the option of raising half the value and paying you off, and to retain the house.I presume you just want your financial share of the assets..

Depends on a few things, kids, state, etc. Here you can not, and you can not force a settlement until he sells. You need to talk to a lawyer.

you should talk to an attorney first, but if you are in the u.s.a, then yes. everything will be sold, and split down the middle. he probably could have the option of just buying you out of your half of everything

If you can not agree between the two of you usually the court will decide for you

I believe that would be stipulated in the final divorce papers.
