adult, returning home to live with your parents may be seen as a last resort—as if somehow, having left home, returning carries a sense of failure. For the parent who will be the primary caregiver to the children, remaining in the family home may not be possible if they lack the ability to take over the existing mortgage, even with financial aid from their ex-partner. Similarly, even for the partner who is not the primary caregiver, providing financial support can make paying a hefty mortgage on a new property for themselves particularly challenging. However, ADUs could be a game changer for one if not both parties involved, especially if grandparents can provide space on the plot of their own home to build an ADU. ADUs are called affordable homes for a reason. When speed of construction is combined with affordability, they can be the perfect solution to housing problems following a breakup.
