Do I Have To Leave My Home?


Coeur d’Alene Lawyer Specializing in Legal Separation and Divorce

If your marriage is in distress, your spouse may have asked you to leave the house — or you may have asked your husband or wife to leave. While it is without a doubt stressful to share a home with a partner when discord has broken down the previously trusting relationship, Idaho law protects people’s right to remain in their domicile. Even if your name is not on the title of your marital home, your husband or wife does not have the legal authority to kick you out.

Locks Got Changed?

Did your spouse change the locks on your home in the midst of domestic disputes? This may constitute an unlawful ouster subject to an order that you should be allowed to resume residence in the marital home.

Learn how to protect yourself from false accusations and from being illegally barred from your own home.

What About the Children?

If there are children at home, you are naturally very concerned about their well being, and about preserving your parental rights. You also want to avoid a situation of child endangerment if one parent or spouse is putting the children’s safety at risk through illicit drug manufacture or dealing. If you try to help yourself, you may make your legal situation much more complicated than it needs to be. An experienced lawyer is an invaluable advocate and legal counselor at such a time.
