Legal Question in Family Law in California

living arrangements after filing

if a married person ''A'' files for divorce and has the sole title to the house, does married person ''B'' have the right to stay in the house? for how long? can married person ''A'' get a restraining order if they feel MArried person''B'' is harassing them and is using the living arrangement to continue the harassment?

Re: living arrangements after filing

Title is generally not determinative in family law, it's all about tracing where the money came from, whether separate or community.

Additionally, you can not kick one spouse out of the family residence upon filing for dissolution.

A restraining order combined with a moveout order is a possibility, however I can't tell from your posting whether the facts merit it.

My rates are very reasonable and I offer free consultations. Please call 909.593.9263 to schedule one.
