* § 618. Division of an assisted family. 1. In those instances where a
family assisted under this article becomes divided into two otherwise
eligible individuals or families due to divorce, legal separation or the
division of the family, where such individuals or families cannot agree
as to which such individual or family should continue to receive the
assistance, and where there is no determination by a court, the housing
access voucher local administrator shall consider the following factors
to determine which of the individuals or families will continue to be
assisted:

(a) which of such individuals or families has custody of dependent
children;

(b) which such individual was the head of household when the voucher
was initially issued as listed on the initial application;

(c) the composition of such individuals and families and which such
family includes elderly or disabled members;

(d) whether domestic violence was involved in the breakup of such
family;

(e) which family members remain in the unit; and

(f) recommendations of social services professionals.

2. Documentation of these factors will be the responsibility of the
requesting parties. If documentation is not provided, the housing access
voucher local administrator will terminate assistance on the basis of
failure to provide information necessary for a recertification.
