Q: My husband and I are getting divorced and I will continue to live in the house and pay all the bills .
Can he prohibit me from renting space in the home and he is trying to get me to sign a document that if I get married I need to immediately move out of the house
A:
The asker had better sign nothing without a divorce attorney's detailed review of the document. Ordinarily, living separate and apart is expected after a divorce judgment, but America's decrepit economy under Biden compels couples to find ways to economize on everything, including housing.
It appears the asker requires a divorce agreement that will allow residency in the marital home, and provisions that dictate how the asker can make use of the premises. Legal counsel can answer all the questions.
