QUESTION
Can I evict my soon to be ex's girlfriend from our house?
Asked on Sep 22nd, 2013 on Divorce - New York
More details to this question:
I am divorcing and moved out of the house that I co-own with my soon to be ex. He moved his girlfriend in as soon as I left without my permission and I don't want her there. Can I evict her since I'm still legally responsible for the house for now?

Hopefully you have an attorney representing you. If not, you need to retain the services of an attorney immediately. Your attorney can seek a court order prohibiting your husband from having a live-in girlfriend in the marital residence.

No, because he also owns the house and he gave her permission to be there.

If you co own the house both of you can make the decision about who lives there. Unless she is destroying the house in some way, there is no basis to evict her.

As a joint owner with your husband, probably not.
