Q: Divorce date 6/5. Move out date 6/13. Custody of kids 50/50. Can husband impose "house rules" on me? See details.
I filed for divorce and have a court date set for 6/5. I am closing on a new home. The home is my husband's separate property. I have lived in it since 2007. We have 3 children and a plan for 50/50 custody. I received the following in an email from my soon-to-be ex-husband today, regarding my email to him communicating my timeline for moving out:
After June 5th, assuming date is still accurate for having the divorce finalized, you will cease to have any claims to the property. I am willing to have have you as a house guest but will be strictly enforcing my house rules for guests. I believe this is the best approach since I am concerned about issues such as cleanliness (ex. eating on the couch in front of the TV) and bad examples for [our son] in terms of security.
I am giving you a heads up in case you would rather re think your timing for leaving as outlined below.
A: In general your husband has rights to use his separate property after the divorce as he chooses and you do not have any rights that you can assert if the separate property is confirmed to be his. Good luck.
