Family Court judges may order a party to leave a home if they are engaged in drunkenness, physical cruelty, or adultery. Your fact pattern potentially includes the first two basis for an order requiring removal. Litigation between parties in the same home can have the potential for significant problems with safety. You should always be concerned primarily with your safety in fact patterns described. When safety issues exist parties should consider seeking immediate assistance, legal counsel, law enforcement, Victim's advocates office, etc. Please commit to leaving and seeking safe refuge if things appear to be violent.
