Moving Home

My husband told me 6 months ago to leave our home. I did. We live in Maine and are not legally separated or anything. We own the home together. He still lives there and I am renting an apartment with our 2 children. I now want to move back to our home. Can I do that even though he may not want me to?

If your name is on the house, and there is no court order preventing you from residing there, and you are not legally seperated, you can do one of two things, just move back in, it is your house, or go to the courts, file your seperation papers and ask the judge for temporary custody, and the legal right to reside soley in the home with the children, this will force your husband to have to vacate the home until a final seperation or divorce agreement is reached.

I am agreeing with Ruchele.

You own the house. your name is on it, you can live there.

If you two aren't ever going to get back together, you might consider the divorce process and go about getting custody and rights to the house.

I am cofused as to why you would want to move back if your husband ask you to move. I would of told him if wanted to be away from me that maybe he should move. The only thing that would make since now is to go to file for a legal seperation,or divorce if thats what you really want. Ask for the house and to move back into it in court. I do not know what your state laws are but in some states the courts will order the sell of the house and devide the equitly. Alot depends on what your husband ask for. Moving back in with out his ok is just asking for trouble. Have you talked to him? Maybe you can work things out. He could of filed for abandonment or divorce and you have not said if he has or hasn't. So it seems you are not sure of what he is wanting hisself. A talk sounds like it might be a start. You need to consider the children and what effect just moving back in would do to them. Good luck I hope it works out for you.
