My wife and I have been married for less than a year and we live in IL. We both live in the house she bought before we were married. Legally, my name is nowhere on the title, deed, lease. We've had arguments where there was shouting. I've been scratched and punched. I have only tried to get out of her way by moving by her. She has called the police and I (with the obvious physical injuries) have been told by the police to leave "for a few hours" and had to "call her to see if it is okay to return". If I have not been the physical or verbal aggressor, why do I have to leave?
The police ask you to leave, even though you are not the aggressor, in order to defuse a potentially explosive situation, plus the fact that you have no ownership interest in the house. And, yes, she can legally kick you out of her house.
