    Isn't it that the resident parent can stay in the house without having to sell it until the youngest child reaches 16?

    I know this happened with my mum and dad, they were married though so don't know if this makes a difference.

    They split when I was 8 and my dad tried to make my mum sell the house, eventually it went to court and my dad was awarded 6 grand (14 years ago), probably as he hadn't been paying the mortgage for the 8 years he'd been gone and as the mortgage wasn't yet paid up either. My mum remortgaged to pay him off and is still in the house now.
