My husband left 6months ago. Everything is in my name. He says he is returning. Can I not allow him in the home? Nothing has been filed.

I suggest you file for divorce ASAP and run to the court and get a Temporary Needs Order to allow you to remain in the home with the furnishings and fixtures therein which will remove him. Even if the house is in your name - he may have an equitable interest.

Hello: I'll add another response. Even though "everything" is in your name, since you two are married, he does have an interest in the home, etc. Unless you file for divorce or, if there has been violence and you have ligitimate fears of more violence, you can file a petition for an injunction against dom. violence and the Order would prevent him from coming there or staying there. If my office can be of any assistance, please give us a caall. Tom Rosenblum
