Re: Exclusive Possesion

Do you still have any ownership interest in the property? If your ex was awarded the home when marital property was divided then you no longer have any more right to the house than I do. If your ex has only been granted the right to live there but ownership is still shared or disputed, then you may consider asking the Court to let you live in the house or rent it.

Yes, but you have to go to court and ask the judge for that.
