do i have a right to stay in apartment with husband?

Question

if my husband just got his own apartment with some of our belongings and he left me stranded with our married daughter and her family (which is putting a strain on them) should i be entitled to stay with him at this apartment if no papers have been filed. he's making alot of purchases but we are still very much married so they are half mine right? if its ok for me to sleep on daughters sofa why not his? do i have a say in the matter? i'm so confused he refuses to discuss the matter with me.

Answer 1

I say make him pay for a place for you to live in..

Answer 2

His own apartment...BS! As long as there have been no papers filed and served both of you are entitled to and RESPONSIBLE for all matters either party enters into. Stranded...come on, you are more resourceful than that. Grab the rest of your marital possessions and get on over there. I wouldn't notify him of my arrival...surprise, surprise!!! You have every right to reside with your husband. If he has a problem with you being there, too bad. Your kids don't need mom hanging out when she has a home elsewhere.
He must have a job or some other form of income and if you live in a community property state you are entitled to one half of the marital (community) assets. You could always file for legal separation and get him moved out of "his own apartment". Make an appointment with two or more divorce attorneys, the first hour is usually free, to learn your rights.
Sorry he sounds like a selfish sh eet and I lean towards being vindictive, with a sense of humor, when IMHO a Mr Iamthe Great Iam is acting this way. He is attempting to walk all over you...don't let him.
As to the sofa...let him sleep on it!

Answer 3

Yes, you have more rights to stay with your husband. He just dumped you on your daughter and doesn't care. He may make your life miserable, but he owes you for the years of work you have done in keeping his home and family together.
You might find out his landlord won't let you move there though if your husband is cagey and sneaky.

You also might want him to be forced to file for divorce and that will save you money. The one who wants a divorce the most pays more lawyer fees.

Take a job and don't think you can't do it. If that happened to me I would even be a waitress just to show him I wasn't gonna lay down and die because he's a pig. Don't do his laundry or cook for him either. That wasn't in your wedding vows. You gave him your best years and now he decides he wants to do something else.

You are going to have some unpleasantness this year but it can all smooth over in time and you might learn to love taking care of yourself. The best revenge is to be happy!! Tell him you're sick of him too!! Good Luck!!

Answer 4

i think if your married you have every right to have half of what he has. So yes your very much intiled to stay in Ya'll apartment. Your married until you get a divorse and things are split up between you guys he's just going to have to deal with it. If your daughter didnt want you at her house i'm sure she would say something dont you.. Dont give him the opprotunity to discuss anything with you half that apartment is your half of all his stuff is yours until the courts decide. Then when its all over have a divorse party and have a great life.

Answer 5

OMG, get out of that relationship NOW!!!! You must get an attorney becaue any debt that he incurrs prior to your legal separation has the potential to mess you up. States vary on propety laws, therefore you would have to check with your state. Let him go, he sounds as if he is over you so you should begin your healing process immemdiately. However, make sure you get your ducks in a row. Get a place, furnish it as you please, remembering all the while that someone has to pay it back. I don't know why you would want to sleep on his sofa....find yourself again you are BETTER than that. If he doesn't want to talk obviously he is too immature and you are better off without him. He is preparing to file so you have to get on the BALL!!!! Goodluck....

Answer 6

Most likely he will not allow you to sleep in his apartment and the lease is probably in his name only. Where were you staying before he got this apartment?? As far as the purchases, yes, you are entitled to half of anything he buys prior to the divorce papers being filed since he is technically spending money that is both of yours.

Answer 7

I really do not know much about this. yes i think this stuff is all half yours and you may have the legal right to stay at the apartment with him... Contact an attorney or paralegal and ask them this and see what they have to say and what legal advice they have to offer as well... Hope this helps some and i sure hope that things start to get better for you soon.

Answer 8

If yo are not being abused or abusive then you should be able to stay at the apartment. Legally even people who file for divorce can live in the same house until the divorce is final or the house is sold.

Answer 9

If he has moved out and away from the marriage no it's not okay for you to live there. Obviously he is the only one on the lease of this new apartment so you have no right to live there at all if he doesn't want you there. I suggest you file for legal seperation and since he did purchase those items that furnish his apartment during the marriage demand half of them to furnish a small apartment for yourself.

Answer 10

Make your married daughter move into the apartment, with her family & tell your husband to move back home or you're filing for divorce.

Answer 11

You should make sure that your name is not on credit cards and purchases ASAP! But, no you cannot just move in with him without him agreeing. I would seek a divorce lawyer also, unless there is some other reason you thinks he wants to stay with you. His bills are your bills right now! Be careful! Good luck!
