What is the matrimonial home?

If a couple owns multiple properties, which one of those is the matrimonial home in law?

The matrimonial home refers to the property where a married couple or civil partners live together as their main residence. This is the property that matrimonial home rights apply such as the right to occupy the property, even if the property is in the name of one party.

It is important to note that matrimonial home rights can only apply to one property, which should be the main family residence.
