I own my own house with my sister- we are joint tenants in common. I live in the house with my wife and 2 children and my sister. My sister will pass on her share to her son (my nephew) when she dies. Hypothetically, if he was to get married and later divorce, what would happen to the house as I own half of it and he would own half of it. Can we still stay there and is there way I can prevent the house getting involved in divorce settlements etc
