Fargo, ND asked in Civil Litigation, Family Law and Landlord - Tenant for North Dakota

Q: Do I have a legal right if I have two kids to live in our leased twinhome over my spouse?

We recently separated. Living with relatives for the past week, I have two kids with me. Me, my 19year old, and my spouse are on the lease. Do I have any rights because I have kids, one under 18. Or are we supposed to be homeless.

A: If your name is on the lease, you likely have a right to be there. In certain situations, a Court may order certain living arrangements. This is general legal advice, and you should not proceed without first consulting personally with an attorney. Good luck to you!
