Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

Re: homeowner rights

If you wanted to get your husband out of the home, you'd have to go through the formal eviction process through the courts. And, the house is not automatically your separate property because it's in your name only (but that's the likely result in the divorce proceeding). However, you can file for divorce and ask for a temporary hearing for the Judge to decide who lives in the house while the divorce is pending. More than likely, the Judge would view that process more favorably than a formal eviction proceeding, assuming violence is not an issue.

Hope this helps!
