Can my partner force me out of my home?

Your ex can try to force you out of the home, but they cannot legally. Until the divorce is finalised, you both have the right to remain in the home.

Does my partner have any rights to my house?

Both married partners have a right to remain in the matrimonial home, regardless of who bought it or has a mortgage on it. This is known as home rights.

What are my rights if I leave the marital home?

When the individual leaves the marital home, he or she will expect a right to privacy. The same is true of the spouse that remains in the marital home.

What happens to the house if the husband leaves?

All things being equal, the home would go to the spouse who brought it into the marriage as her premarital property and the other would not have any right to a share of its value. That rule isn’t ironclad, however. Some other factors can come into play. Was marital money used to pay the mortgage, insurance, taxes or for maintenance or repairs?

Why did I leave a good relationship for my own?
