Good question. Unfortunately, there is not an easy answer. It can be very difficult to force a spouse out the marital residence when that spouse is not willing to move. I strongly encourage you to contact an attorney in your local jurisdiction as the answer to this question may very a bit county to county. For example, in Mecklenburg county, it is pretty rare that we see someone forced out of the marital residence in the absence of a showing of domestic violence. For more information on this topic, please see one of our blogs on the topic of distribution of the marital residence in North Carolina divorce. #3 may shed some additional light on the typical paths people may take in a situation like this. Hope this helps.
