Separated and ex has moved a friend and their kids in - question about rental income
I’m separated from my soon-to-be ex-wife. Not long after I moved out, she moved a friend and the friend’s child into the family home. I still own 50% of the property until the divorce/property settlement is finalised, and I wasn’t informed they were moving in until after it had already happened. My children still live in the house when they’re not staying with me.
I’ve asked about the arrangement but have only been told it’s a “boarder agreement” and that I don’t need to know the details. The friend and child each have exclusive use of their own bedrooms, and both rooms have locks.
Could this arrangement affect the home’s main residence exemption when it’s eventually sold, potentially exposing part of it to CGT because rooms are being rented/boarded?
Given I still co-own the property, would I be entitled to any share of the income being received from the boarder/renter arrangement?
I’ve tried asking for more information about how the agreement works, but I’m only being told it’s a “boarder agreement” without any further details.
