DH won’t move out!

[ImConfusedHelp]

Following on from my last posts, DH is refusing to move out. Not only that, but he keeps going into fits of rage and then shuts himself in the basement and refuses to talk to me. How do I get him to leave? This is not the environment I want my DC growing up in?

Who owns / rents it eg. Is it in one name? Who pays for it?

Can you move out with DC?

Do you jointly own the house? Any lawyer would discourage one from moving out until it’s all legally sorted. He, or you, would be foolish to move out if you have joint responsibility for it.

if anything this is a great way to get things done. We went from separation to her moving out (I remortgaged and bought her out) in 9 weeks.

If he jointly owns the house with you or is also on the lease, he does not have to move out. The only exception to that would be if he's removed by the police and you get an occupancy order against him due to abusive behaviour.

If his behaviour is threatening or out of control, call the police.

This very much depends on the circumstances.
Is there anything preventing you from moving out instead?

If you jointly own he cannot be made to move unless he’s being abusive. I speak from experience, took me 18 mkntgxti get him out. Hrs caused major damage to his relationship with kids but doesn’t see it or care. Good luck!
