Your rights remain the same whether you remian in the house or not. However, you both need to make sure that the bills get paid, the house maintained, and that you establish how you will go forward with the divorce. I suggest that you might explore Collaborative Law as a more cordial method to find a solution to this difficult time. There are resources available from the Collaborative Law Alliance of New Hampshire on the Internet and a few articles at my own firm's web site.
