Can I kick my husband out of the house?

by **adaya** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 12:46 pm

I live in Florida. My husband was caught dealing drugs a few months ago with some chick. He has AIDs and he slept with the girl. In court, the girl took all the blame for everything and now she is threatening him. He is a VA patient and he gets money for putting me and our son as dependents even though he doesnt give us any money for food or bills.

Today I caught him with the girl again and now I want him out of the house. What are the laws concerning me kicking him and not letting him inside the house?

You CN get him out of the house! No two ways about it. I would NOT want anything to do with him nor ever let him touch me again. I also would contact an atty. regarding money he "owes" you & your son to help you live on. IF he uses you for dependents, he's not being honest with the law either! You ARE owed that money to help you out & help with YOUR bills! See what you can do about that as I feel you CAN do something about that. I would get a Restraining Order taken out against him. You could simply say you are afraid of him & they will issue an order on him. He will NOT be able to come within 500 ft. of you, not be able to contact you in ANY way. IF he does, call the police & they will handle him for you. He also has 30 days to get his things out, & a policeman WILL come with him when he comes for his things. This is the way I WOULD handle him & his whole situation he's gotten himself in to. Go get that Restraining Order ASAP & you'll KNOW he won't set foot in that house again. Let him worry about his problems, he sure got himself in them they are not yours to have to be involved with. I wish you the best...:)

The best time to kick him out was a few months ago when all that happened. You need to talk with an attorney [presumably the one you have draw up your divorce papers] and find out what your rights are. It would seem to me that you shouldn't have to live with him under the circumstances. That said, even if you can't kick him out, you can pack up your kids and leave him. If you own your home jointly, the courts may award the home to you, or you might have to sell it and divide the equity, after the mortgage is paid off, if any. YA! is not a good place to come for legal advice when your really should spend the dime and talk to an attorney.

So the marriage has broken down, he has committed adultery and possibly put you at risk of getting AIDs...which in the UK would be a criminal offence.......

What can he do if you pack his bags, change the locks and kick him out? if he makes a scene phone the police, he won't want them involved....Hope the websites are some help...if you fear what he may do then domestic violence is also something you tell the police, getting a court order for him to keep away.

If you are married in florida, you can't even change the locks.. The only thing you can do is leave. Find family to go live with and take your child. I live in Florida, Been though 2 divorces and trust me.. I wanted her OUT and it was illegal according to my attorney. They have to agree to leave and not have the keys. Since you are married, it doesn't matter and you can't keep them out of something that is legally theirs. Best advice I can give.. Leave!

legally you can't without a judge backing you in one way or another, a restraining order, a divorce, or eviction. legally if you just put him out and don't let him back in he can call the cops and they will tell you that you have to let him back in. try it, see what happens...

If you own the house, Kick him out and get a restraining order.

File divorce papers and change the locks. If he tries to break in, call the 5-0!!!
