Can you change from no fault to fault divorce?
Fault-based divorces tend to reward the initiating spouse and punish the spouse found to be at fault. It is likely not in your interests to change this situation from a fault to no-fault divorce.
How can I get a divorce when one party refuses?
Even if your spouse refuses to sign any documents, the court can grant a divorce order. But you must prove your spouse was served according to the rules.
Can I file for a legal separation without my spouse?
You do not need to file court papers to separate. The law does not require you to live with your spouse. You may also seek court orders about custody and visitation without filing for a legal separation or divorce. “Legal Separation” is a major change in the status of your marriage.
Can my wife force me to leave the house?
In the event of a family law separation, both parties are legally entitled to live in the family home. It does not matter whose name is on the ownership of the house. One party cannot force the other to leave, and a person is not required to leave the house just because the other wishes it.
What happens when a spouse moves out?
Moving out of the marital home may require permission from the other spouse to avoid the possible charge of abandonment, and communication with the spouse and a legal professional in this situation is key. The person that moves out may still have a right to the marital home during a divorce or even in separation.
