Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Can husband make wife leave

Can my husband of 24 years make me leave our home that is leased in his name. He is on the lease but the lease states that 4 people live in the home. He, myself, and two of our 3 children (plus one is away at college)

He and I are having marital issues and he threatens to have me removed from the house as trespass since I am not named on the lease. Can he do that?

Probably not. I say this because I would need more info in order to give you a reliable "No". Please feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss. I don't charge for initial phone consultations.

No. Because you reside there he would have to file a dispossessory proceeding against you.
