It depends upon the circumstances. If it is a divorce, then through a divorce decree. If it is a shared living arrangement, is the other party paying rent. If so, tenant eviction. If no rent (meaning they don't cover any expenses) then they are now trespassing if you tell them to leave. However, the situation can become very sticky and difficult.
