Is domestic partnership a marital status?
You currently live together with your partner (opposite or same-sex), without being legally married, in a genuine domestic relationship to the exclusion of all others.
Can I kick my common law partner out of my house?
Living common law is very different from being married, and one important difference is that common law couples do not have a matrimonial home. Married couples cannot kick each other out of the home (or homes) in which they live.
Can you kick your spouse out?
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. Under the law, you cannot kick each other out.
Can my wife kick me out of my own house?
A common-law spouse who owns their home can kick their partner out at any time, for any reason (although it’s always recommended you speak with a lawyer before doing so!). Married spouses cannot. Until a divorce is granted or a court orders otherwise, both spouses have a right to live in the matrimonial home.
