QUESTION
Would my stepfather be required to move out after he and my mother divorce?
Asked on Nov 18th, 2012 on Divorce - Michigan
More details to this question:
If my mother and stepfather get a divorce, would he be required to move out? He has no ownership of any property or financial assets and essentially just lives in our home with my mother paying all of the bills and taxes. Our home is his legal address but that's about it.

If your step-father does not own the home and the home is awarded to your mother in a divorce, which it should be, he will have to move out.

If he does not have a right to the house at the end of the divorce it should be awarded to your mother and he would have to move out.

That may depend on what your mother wants. Unless she agrees to let him stay, the divorce judge will certainly require one of them to move and, if the house belongs to your mother, he will be the one required to move.

In reply, only if your mother insists that he move, and he has noting in he divorce that would allow him to sty for a period of time.

Generally he would be the one who would have to move post divorce but I need many more details for a firm answer.

Probably. She should certainly ask for him to be ordered to move out.
