who is responsible for paying the household rates when a husband and wife separate and one partner moves out of the jointly owned maritial home

There is no such thing as rates. Do you mean council tax? If so, whoever lives there will be responsible - if they are the sole occupant they weill get 25% discount though.

No water rates, bednobs?

We had house rates up until 1991, when it was replaced by the poll tax (Community Charge).

When my marriage broke down and my husband left the house I was responsible for for the council tax, gas, electricity etc, as I was the one living in the property. The good thing was I got a reduction on the council tax because I was the only adult living in the house.

Im from N ireland too and the person living AND registered to the property is responsible for rate payments, It works very differently here than in England. When my husband left i spoke to the RCA who said me and mortgage payers named on the property are equally responsible for the rates repayments, so tell him to cough up! The RCA are the most incompetent bunch of people i have come across apart from CSA and they will torment you for money so you better get in touch and ask their advice if you are struggling

However, complexities arise when navigating shared assets and obligations. Legal counsel may advise on equitable distribution, ensuring fairness and compliance. Understanding individual state laws and contractual agreements is essential in resolving such matters.
