What are my rights when husband keeps packing my stuff and taking keys off me?

[Gina8]

Married for 3 years. No kids.

The house we live in is bought by husband and he pays for the mortgage. The deeds are under his name only.

After arguments, sometimes he will pack my things and tell me to leave his house. Or demand I pack EVERYTHING and leave.

I’ll always agree to leaving straight away but I say it’s impossible for me to pack everything immediately but will remove everything within a week. He doesn’t accept it. He makes it difficult for me and then he will start packing my things for me. Basically throws all my stuff in bags. Sometimes he’ll throw my things out. He takes the house keys off me too.

I’ll usually go stay at my mums and then eventually (sometimes weeks after) he’ll beg and plead for me back. Even when I don’t agree, he’ll be persistent and overwhelms me that I cave in.

he usually kicks me out the house at midnight or later. He’s done this too many times now and I’m filing for divorce. I’ve gone NC.

I have no interest in claiming anything from him. And he can keep his house.

What I want to know does he have the right to expect to leave his house and take all of my belongings straight away whenever he demands. And does he have the right to take keys off me? Even though the house is his and he pays for the mortgage.

That is not true.

This!
Make an appointment with a solicitor today!

It doesn’t matter if he has the right to kick you out. You aren’t going back again so that information is irrelevant.

Repeat that to yourself. You aren’t going back. What he is doing is unacceptable and you need to divorce.

see a solicitor. With no children, the divorce and financial split should be fairly simple. You don’t have to fight for every little bit you are owed, but you shouldn’t walk away with nothing.

What country do you live in?

Your marriage is relatively short and there are no children involved.
You can fill in divorce paperwork and file it yourself - there is a fee payable (around £500). A divorce can just be 'no fault' these days, you just need to complete the relevant paperwork online.
You could be entitled to a small settlement, depending on what assets you both entered into the marriage with (including pension pots). Ask yourself is what you feel you should get, presumably the house has increased in value in the three years you've lived there and how you've improved the home for example. Say 50% of the increased value of the home.
But beware that if you take legal advice you may end up spending more in legal fees fighting over assets when in reality it will be better for you to walk away, none the richer in financial terms but 100% better mentally.
Whatever you decide you are entitled to get all your personal belongings back and you should seek to do this ASAP. Ask a friend/relative to accompany you.

Depends where the op lives. In Scotland assets owned solely by one party prior to the marriage are not included in a divorce settlement.

Though assuming she is in England you're right

I have never heard that the house owner can throw a spouse out with no notice or discussion or agreement.
I have heard about violence and abuse and getting court orders. You don't mention anything about that on this post.

Block him on your phone. Give him no chance to start wearing you down. Ignore his pattern of behaviour. He always does it because it has always worked. Change the way you react and get your freedom.
The next thing he should hear from you is a letter from your solicitor.

I have my fingers crossed you have no joint debt @Gina8 ?

Another one what? Making sure the OP doesn't get misleading info.

And 'UK Law' is misleading. England and Scotland have different legal systems, which are very different in divorce cases

Do get professional advice OP. You are not likely to get 50% but it will be a good point to start the negotiations.
You will need money to pay Solicitor and other costs. So don't be too grand in turning down value in the house.
Presume you are in England & Wales, Scotland slightly different.
Will STBX try and involve some other tradition or religious 'law'.

I’m not interested in anything from him. I don’t want any money or assets or whatever. I just want a divorce. He can keep all his financial stuff. I don’t want a penny.

i just wanted to know what my rights are when he keeps kicking me out the house and taking my keys whilst I’m still married to him. Coz he seems to think he can evict me whenever he feels fit.

Have you seen a solicitor yet?

If not, why not.

And get that sorted NOW

Get some legal advice asap. If you're married, the house is a marital asset and would form part of your divorce settlement.

another one stating fact which isnt right. You are not entitled to half of assets on divorce in English law, depends on a lot of factors, most importantly length of marriage. three years is a short marriage so she would not be entitled to anything like 50%

Nasty, abusive fuck. Thank goodness you don't have kids with him.

Get legal advice. Threaten to go after a percentage of the house if he doesn't leave you alone.

I don't understand, you've left and gone no-contact but you're still living in the house with him?

Asking what your rights are when he keeps kicking you out of the house is quite an odd question. Your right is not to keep going back.

Thank you. No joint debt

Why do you keep going back?

Surely if you have left him and his house, want nothing from him and have gone nc then none of this matters anymore? I would just start divorce proceedings and move on.

No I have left and living elsewhere.

I just wanted clarification for myself what my rights were because husband would seem to think he could kick me out whenever as the house was his. It was more I needed mental clarification for myself and I am filing for divorce this week.

If you aren't going back to live there then surely your right not to be evicted is irrelevant? Or do you need access to the house to get the rest of your things, post etc.?

Sorry cross posted with OP!
