Re: sister is getting a divorce and wants husband out of the house
He absolutely does. Would you like it if he did the same thing to your sister? I try to advise people to use common curtesy and respect. A divorce does not have to be a war. Both parties have a right to live in their home. If your sister illegally kicks him out, she will likely get arrested, and certainly will lose a civil case if he files one. Also, the divorce judge will get very angry. Anyone who kicks another person out of the joint house because they don't like them anymore is a . . . well you know.
