    Its more complicated than that. however, just because an asset is in only one name doesn't mean that they get to keep it in a separation / divorce.

    The basic rule is that proper provision must be made for both partners. That need not be in property.

    You really need to talk to a solicitor.

    I'd echo what Victor has said- you need to talk to a family law solicitor ASAP. FLAC can probably help you- or direct you in an appropriate direction. You really need professional help though- not the random comments on this or any other internet forum- from folk who may or may not know what they're talking about.

    Chat to FLAC. They won't represent you and do all the work but they'll point out options and answer questions

    You need a solicitor here and if you don't know any, FLAC might give you a list of some that work in family law

    As abiove you need professional advice but be warned, the name does not have to be on the deed, a family member of ours was recently awarded the majority share of a house when their name was not on the deed.

    If you were the wife, you are pretty much guaranteed to be awarded the house and children by our misandrist family law system.

    Thats not true, although if there is a minor child, the house is protected under the Family Home Act, and it is unlikely a sale could be forced. The custodian parent will most likely gain right of residence until the youngest child is 18.

    It really doesn't matter whose name is on the deeds if it is viewed as a Family Home.
