My question pertains to a house me and my common law purchased some months ago.It was purchased under both our names but my common law wife was given the title of wife in the purchase agreement.We have then seperated but she cannot pay the mortage and still has yet to move out.If i can pay the mortage myself can i have her evicted from the property?

Re: Property
Since you state that you are married, you cannot evict her. Instead you need to go to district court, filing for a divorce to end this informal marriage. You will want to ask for temporary orders to temporarily assign the debt and possession of the house. There may also be other issues which can be resolved at the temporary hearing. You should consult an attorney.
