A: Looks like a normal eviction matter to me. I assume the lease has expired. You simply give the tenant a notice to quit in writing (normally 30 days, but may vary depending on the law in your state). If the tenant has not moved by the expiration of the notice, you sue to evict. You would allege in your court papers that you are the successor in interest to your ex-spouse.
