Can My Husband Kick Me Out of Our House?

Asked Jun 3, 2007, 11:25 AM — 16 Answers
I am 42, live in Maryland, have been married for 15 years and am seeking a divorce. My name is not on any property (house, car, etc) except for a joint checking account (which he is taking money out of as soon as it goes in). My husband is threatening to "kick me out" if I file for divorce. I have been a stay-at-home mother for 9 years and have virtually nothing in my name. If I file, he'll want me to leave. As of yet, I have no job, no money, nothing. Can he kick me out? Also, if I do leave, is he required to pay alimony or some sort of support until I get back on my feet? Also, am I entitled to half his pension from the State of Maryland (he's a police chief)? And if the house is not in my name, am I entitled to any of its value?
Thank you very much for any assistance anyone out there can lend.

This new question should be the beginning of a new thread. The previous posts do not necessarily apply to your situation.

I assume you are in Britain?

How would he "kick you out"? Obviously, he cannot physically eject you as the expression suggests. He can ask you to leave. And you can refuse.

Unless these are your exact same circumstances you have to start a new thread: am 42, live in Maryland, have been married for 15 years and am seeking a divorce. My name is not on any property (house, car, etc) except for a joint checking account (which he is taking money out of as soon as it goes in). My husband is threatening to "kick me out" if I file for divorce. I have been a stay-at-home mother for 9 years and have virtually nothing in my name. If I file, he'll want me to leave.

Whatever you think you need.

It will all be sorted out in a divorce anyway.

Well, I am in the same position, only I am a guy.
At this point i am still married but kicked out the house. We have been married for 7 years and I deposited all of my 300,000/year into the joint account. My wife only makes 20,000/year but deposited it in a private account i was not aware of. She also deposits her allowance in there she gets from her ex. I also have kids from a previous marriage and every school holiday they fly over, this is quite an expense but didn't bother us much because i earned enough although my new wife verbally outed her disagreement. Now three months ago I lost my job and have no income what so ever, the joint accounts are empty but hers is full yet i have no access to it. she kicked me out, threatening she would call the cops if i didn't comply (woman really can have the police throw you out your house solely by claining they feel threatened) I have 700 dollars left, no job and no family left. whenever i approach the house to go ask for some stuff she threatens to call the cops so I leave. She also tricked me into handing over the keys. Her:" show me some good will so i don't feel threatened anymore that you will just walk in the house one day, otherwise the idea that you can enter the house anytime makes me want to file a restraining order" So i did. Then i called the cops since my name is on the title and i am denied access to the house, i have the right to get some of my stuff.....accept that is when you don't have the keys anymore.....my only option is to get a lawyer....which i cannot afford. it's Tueday right now, this friday i am kicked out of the hotel.
