No generally you do not have to move out.. until after the divorce is finalized.. unless there are allegations of spousal abuse.

No unless agreed or ordered by the court. Once the divorce is granted other living arrangements should be made or you may find yourself in a common law marriage.

If it is the marital home, in most states you do not have to move out. It doesn't matter if the lease or deed or mortgage are in your name. You do not have to move out until a judge orders you to do so. If you are facing divorce, it is highly recommended that you speak with a local attorney in order to best determine your potential rights and options.

No, the Judge won't order either of you to leave absent a Domestic Violence situation. Of course, either of you may move out at any time if it is unbearable or if you are afraid of being accused of Domestic Violence. If your spouse is the primary earner, you may want to consult with an attorney (bring your last couple years taxes and current pay stubs if possible) to determine what spousal support and child support you may be entitled to receive.

No, you can make a motion to the court and ask the court to let you stay in the house. However, you will have to pay the cost of living in the house.

Do you own the house together? Are you both obligated on the lease? If yes, then no, you do not have to move out. On the other hand, if the home is in her name only, she can evict you. However, tell her that she has to give you the appropriate notice and then file an eviction action against you. That will give you some time to find a new place.

You do not have to move out unless a Court orders you to do so. You should be careful not to commit or be accused of domestic violence. You can file a divorce action and request support from your spouse if you are the lower earner.

You only have to move out if she can prove you physically abused her, or threatened to do so. As long as you don't physically abuse her or threaten her, you should NOT have to move out.
