Except in cases of domestic violence, your spouse will not be ordered to leave your home in Rochester when you file for divorce.
If you are dealing with abuse in the home, you can ask the court for an order of protection as part of your filing.
Your spouse will be ordered to leave and stay away, and you’ll have protections against them if they violate the order of protection.
Barring domestic violence, odds are that you’ll have to approach the matter of who stays in the house through negotiation.
Your spouse may have a number of reasons to want to stay, including not wanting to give the appearance that they don’t want the house, not wanting to be separated from their children, and not wanting to provide ammunition for future custody disputes.
The team at Friedman & Ranzenhofer understands that when a marriage ends, you want your own space and to start living independently.
We work with you to negotiate an exit strategy for your spouse as soon as possible, and help you get what you want in the ultimate divorce settlement.
