Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: Adultery

Hi -

Thanks for writing - it's an excellent question. One thing that's not clear to me is whether the house (which you claim is in your name only) is your separate property, that is, property which you brought to the marriage. If the house is your separate property, and not "marital property," then I believe that you may ask him to leave your house, and then sue for divorce.

But by all means - whatever you do - don't do anything too rash, rather than changing the locks simply ask him to leave.

Re: Adultery

No you cannot. But, if you file for a divorce, two of the factors in property distribution is conduct during the marriage and length of the marriage. I suggest you contact an attorney ASAP to discuss this matter and your rights.
