Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

You have a legal right, absent a move-out order from the Family Law Court, to enter the property. The problem, however, is that you may not be able to get the police or sheriff to enforce your right. They are extremely hesitant to get involved in domestic matters such as this, and will often tell you that you must get a Court order before they will force him to let you in the house. To remove your name from the agreement, you have to give 30 days notice to the landlord; however, that may not work if the ex-husband stays in the property. Again, you may have to get a Court order in the form of a QDRO to force the landlord to remove your name from the lease.
