Do both parties have to agree on a legal separation?
The same is true for separations in Canada. You and your spouse are not required to have a separation agreement drafted, and neither of you are required to sign one. While these agreements may not be mandatory, they are strongly recommended.
Can a husband put his wife out the house?
Legally, it’s her home, too—even if it’s only his name on the mortgage, deed, or lease. It doesn’t matter whether you rent or own, your spouse can’t just kick you out of the marital residence. Of course, that doesn’t mean that, sometimes, for whatever reason, it’s not better to just go ahead and leave.
Who moves out during a divorce?
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.
