We are either separating or getting divorced amicably. We bought our house en tontine. Can anyone help me understand the pros and cons as to which is better as my husband wants to keep the house and I won’t force him to sell. Any advice would be welcomed.
Pros and cons of what? Selling or not selling?
Where are you divorcing? In France or elsewhere?
Did you buy it 50:50?
I suspect, but don’t know, that the advice would be the same as what I got with my late wife’s successors, which was to buy their half of it from them and save troubles later. But I could be wrong.
Need more info! Is it separating or divorce? Is your husband living with someone else? Are there children?
My old neighbours divorced and the wife wanted to stay in the family home so had to buy the husband off to do so. The price was fixed by the divorce court and took into account his prison time for trying to kill her (the devil drink again)

Either sell and split the proceeds, or have it valued and he buys out your 50%. If he can’t afford that, sell.
But talk to a notary especially if there are children involved.
