However, much of what can happen depends on if they own it as joint tenants (ie: they both own it) or tenants in common (ie: they both have a share of it).
They own the house but it has a mortgage on it (again in joint names)
We want to go ahead and me move in but I am concerned of problems in the future
However, the short answer is that yes, if they are living in the hosue and want to move their partner in they can, even of the house is still jointly owned.
However, the fact that the partner is clearly cohabing would be relevant to any divorce settlement and onbisouly it can inflame an alredy tense situation.
IF the non-resident owner is still contributing to the mortgage or other outgoings I would expect them to stop if a new partner is moved in.
You say "Can my ex move her bf in" then "they own the house" then "we want to go ahead and move me in".
Which is it? Who owns the house?
So is it your partner who owns the house with their ex, and you want to move in? If your partner owns the house, you can move in. If their ex also moves in, then the ex can move in too.
You just need to be grown ups and have a civil conversation about it.
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
Bet you wish you hadn't asked OP.
It seems perfectly obvious to me, the question you are asking
Yes she can move them in - and no permission from you is needed
