What If Your Spouse Wants to Keep the House, But You Have No Place to Go After a Divorce?

A divorce is almost never just two people waving goodbye to each other and riding off into the sunset in opposite directions. Unfortunately, a divorce in 98% of all cases is much more complicated. Depending on the circumstances of your particular case, you can keep the marital house if you have the primary child custody. However, when there are no children in marriage, the partner who purchased the marital house with separate funds gets the house. Under Utah laws, no party has a legal right to force their spouse to leave the home. However, asset & property division attorneys in Salt Lake City explain that one of the divorcing spouses can request the other partner to vacate through a court order.<br>

  1. What If Your Spouse Wants to Keep the House, But You Have No Place to Go After a Divorce?

  2. A divorce is almost never just two people waving goodbye to each other and riding off into the sunset in opposite directions. Unfortunately, a divorce in 98% of all cases is much more complicated. For example, two divorcing spouses have to figure out how to divide their marital property and assets, who will be responsible for debts, what to do with deductible taxes, who gets the children, who gets the house, and many other legal headaches associated with a divorce. But what if one of the spouses wants to keep the house, and the other spouse has no place to go?

  3. Who gets thehouse? Depending on the circumstances of your particular case, you can keep the marital house if you have the primary child custody. However, when there are no children in marriage, the partner who purchased the marital house with separate funds gets the house. Under Utah laws, no party has a legal right to force their spouse to leave the home. However, asset & property division attorneys in Salt Lake City explain that one of the divorcing spouses can request the other partner to vacate through a court order.

  4. Typically, a spouse can prevent the other spouse from living in their marital house in a divorce in cases of domestic violence or child abuse. In these cases, partners seeking a restraining order against the other spouse are required to speak to a restraining order attorney in order to file a claim and prepare legal action.

  6. A family court will do whatever it takes to satisfy your basic needs. And having a home to live in is one of the basic needs taken into consideration by judges and juries. Let best asset & property division attorneys in Utah seek justice on your behalf and make sure that your basic needs are met. Contact Emy A.
