Yes is the simple answer; if a couple cannot get agreement on settlement issues then a judge will make a decision via court orders, however if you are separating you need to be aware that the Family Home is only one issue that has to be settled, pensions, life assurance, maintenance/access (if applicable) and inheritance also have to be dealt with.
I would recommend that you consider Family Mediation, its a free service; both parties have to agree to attend. It doesn't work for everyone and you may not settle all issues but it will at least get you both talking about what needs to be done. The more you can agree between you the less you will have to pay in legal fees.
