Joanna Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) It's really not clear to me what "reasonable needs" means when it comes to houses, can anyone explain how a Judge would determine this? I have 2 children and they will mostly live with me, so my needs are a 3 bedroom house which is close to the schools. If the children occasionally stay at his house does that mean he also requires a 3 bed house or will he be expected to make do with something smaller?
