❌Your spouse needs your written consent or a court order to sell a matrimonial home. As long as you have exclusive possession, your spouse can’t default on the mortgage to push your home into foreclosure.
1️⃣ As a first step, preserve your legal interests by having your property designated as a matrimonial home. Even if you’re not on the property title, that will prevent your spouse from selling, renting, subletting, mortgaging or borrowing against it without your written consent.
👩⚖️A court may set aside transactions made without your knowledge or that you disagree with — especially if you plan to live there the kids or you would be seriously disadvantaged.
