Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

That spouse can really do anything he wants in the absence of a Court Order. Theoretically, he owns everything in the house jointly with you. So the fact that he is not living in the house has nothing to do with his rights; he can do what he wants. He loses no rights by leaving. Your larger question is what are the rights and responsibilities of both parties as they begin to go through a divorce. That is a questions that has many nuances and you will need to get a consultation with an experienced divorce attorney to answer that question.

If the house was the marital residence and your spouse recently moved from the residence, all of the contents contained in the house are also considered marital assets and are subject to division in the divorce. If both of you own the house, absent a court order, neither of you have more rights to the house and its contents over the other. To best protect your interests, you should speak with an attorney.
