How can I get my deadbeat husband out of my house?
Oct

2010
I moved into my own apt with my 3 children last year. My husband moved in to help me with the kids for a few months. He has no job, pays nothing. He doesn’t cook, clean or contribute in any way. I want him to leave how can I get him out?
Answer #2
Is there such a thing as filing for legal separation? Just wondering.
Answer #3
LadyBugg – in California, you can obtain a legal separation that does not require divorce. The effect on how you hold your property is the same as divorce as property gets divided into each spouse’s separate property and income, leaving no remaining community property.

Answer #1
I assume you’ve already asked him to leave. Have you? If not, you should.
Are there any other reasons you want him out? Has he been violent to you or the kids? Does he have a substance abuse problem?
Try reaching out to family to assist you. Do you have a sister, brother, aunt or uncle that can take you and the kids in until you find an alternate living arrangement? Have you researched local resources (e.g., shelters, support groups) that can help you in the short term?
What state are you in?
