A: Great question.

If the Divorce case is still active, you can go to your judge and file a motion to dispossess (evict), your ex.

If you bring a copy of your divorce case Order which states that your ex must leave after a certain amount of time, you can go to Eviction court to evict also. I think the safer move is to go to the divorce court with a restraining order or Motion to remove your ex.

Good Luck!
