Q: Can I get my husband out of our home if we rent and he is not on the lease?
I am in the process of divorcing my husband who is a severe alcoholic.
A: Basically you appear to be seeking what is known as exclusive use and possession. Yes, you can get him out of the house if the facts are right. There are certain legal requirements, and the facts must be present to get certain relief like this, or he would have to agree upon it. Go see a local family law attorney to learn more.
A:
You have to get an order from the judge.
Use of a lawyer is recommended.
