Iv'e been with my husband for 12 years, married for three. Our life style is completely opposite now and I'm in the beginning stages of starting a divorce. With his aggression he's been displaying lately iv'e asked him to leave. Hes not on the lease and does not pay ANY BILLS. How do I get him out ASAP?

Depends on what you the "beginning stages of divorce" are. I've never seen anyone evicted from the marital home.

I have seen restraining orders and someone ordered out and then evicted.

As Judy said, the fastest way is by obtaining a restraining order. You may also file for a separation and make his moving out a condition of the separation agreement. Talk to you divorce attorney.

Hello c:

If you're married (and you are), and you live in a community property state (and you do), then all it takes is ONE person in the marriage to obligate BOTH. Therefore, if YOU signed the lease, HE'S on it too.

Even if he was just a roommate, you're not his landlord. Therefore, you couldn't evict him. The landlord can evict BOTH of you, but not just him.

I learn something every day - I didn't realize this applied to contracts/leases (in community property States).

I am never moving to a community property State.
