Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: mate putting me out

I assume your use of the term "mate" means you're not married. Even so, unless he owns the house in just his name, he can't put you out. If you are renters, you have as much right to occupy the premises as him. If you are legitimately concerned about him abusing or threatening you or the children, you could go to court and ask for a civil protection order. If you do this and establish at a court hearing that the abuse or threat is real, the judge has the authority to order him out of the premises for up to a year. You can also get a court order for child support if they are his children, and to pay the mortgage or rent as the case may be.
