Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

divorce/domestic

The house that spouse and I currently own has a third unit, an apartment that brings rental income. I would like to get the portion of the house that spouse and I own as part of the divorce settlement. The question is: even if I wind up NOT getting the house, in the meanwhile, is there an reason I could not live in that rental apartment? And even AFTER the divorce, is there any reason I could not live in that rental apartment, even though spouse would continue to live in the same house in the apartment in that house we both currently occupy?

Re: divorce/domestic

Legally, there is no reason this cannot be worked out.

Emotionally, and therefore in the end legally, it is probably a bad idea. Most people cannot do this well.
