Thanks for your replys.

Just to clarify. When we split up (breakup of the reltionship @ Scott no mates), He stayed in there for just over a year & then moved out, then I moved back in and am here now by my self. So it's been our PPOR since 2004. When we both did our away stints, this was work related, so assume this does not effect the sitsuation much.

So I take it from what crj said, we could possibly both avoid if we have a documented property settlement.

I'm not across the "6 year rule" but will research.

I will also contact the lawyer as suggested.

Thanks for your help.
