My ex-fiance and I just moved into together in august. Since then it has been nothing but drama. He is verbally and emotionally abusive toward me. I have asked him to leave and he states he will when he feels like it. He is always drinking and always complaining about one thing or another. the utilities are in my name. I also have two children and they have adjusted very well to the area, and school. I dont feel I should be the one to leave, I moved them once to be with this man. Is there anyhting I can do to make him leave?

No, he is on the lease, and if he is paying the rent or any part of it, that the two of you agreed upon or that he signed. Then, you will have to wait until the year is up.

Is his name on the lease alone or are you both on it.If he is the only one on it then he could have you leave but if you are both on it then he has as much right to be there as you.If you are that unhappy why don't you leave and since the utilities are in your name have them shut off and transferred to your new place , I am sure your children wouldn't mind moving if it gets them away from your drama lifestyle but remember if your name is on the lease you will be responsible for payment also..

I had a similar situation. We were engaged, broke up, and he literally wouldn't move out. He threatened me, stole my money, brought women to the apartment when I wasn't home. But since he never physically hurt me and his name was on the lease I legally couldn't do a thing.
For your own happiness and for your children all you can do is leave yourself. You don't necessarily have to leave the area. Perhaps find another place nearby so your children don't have to be uprooted again.
Good luck. And lesson learned. Never put a man's name on anything... unless he's your husband.

Unfortunately, if he's on the lease and you're not, he has every right to stay. If all the utilities are in your name, I'd move and have everything shut off. Let the bastard get everything cut back on himself. Schedule it to be cut off on a Friday or Saturday night when it takes forever for a utility company to get back to you.

If he won't leave, then you leave. But know that just because you do, doesn't mean you're not responsible for the lease.
