    Depends on the state, in some states she can change the locks on him.

    And I doubt that he has to worry about filing for divorce I am sure the wife will do it for him.

    If he was cheating and was caught, he needs to move out for a while, try to get marriage counseling with his wife and make it work.

    He doesn't have to leave.

    It is much his property as his wife's.

    Hi,
    If the wife sees a lawyer, has Separation Papers drawn up, then he will have to move out. It's up to her.
    Since he is the one who initiated the problems, I am almost certain the lawyer will have the Court tell him to leave. Later, if they divorce, half the value of the house and property will be his, unless some other considerations are in order.
