Q: Divorce is pending and he stopped paying everything and refused to leave can I legally make him leave
I filed for a divorce the beginning of oct and he still living here and has stopped paying everything he won’t pay any bills won’t help buying food nothing! He’s not physically abusive Is there a way I can make him leave until we go to court
A: Yes, you need to request what is called a "provisional order" from the court. This will allow you to have temporary orders put in place while the divorce is pending. You can ask the court to make him leave the house during that time. You should speak with an attorney, or contact your court clerk for instructions on filing that.
