Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Washington

asking someone to leave

My wife and I share a residence but do not sleep together due to marital difficulties. The man she cheats on me with has been in her bed every night for 3 weeks. One day she and I had a verbal dispute about custody of our son and her lover started trying to tell me what he thinks my rights are. I asked him to leave me alone or leave. He refused to leave, stating since she invited him in, I have no right to tell him to leave my residence. For close to an hour after that he stood in the kitchen in the middle of my house and said things every time I passed to make me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome in my home, even attempting to provoke a fight. I continuted to ask him to leave me alone or get out of my house. He still refuses, and implys violence with ''get out of my face about leaving because I won't''. I don't know what to do.

Re: asking someone to leave

You are not having a landlord tenant issue; you are having a domestic relations problem. You should consider leaving, and you should consider taking your son with you, as your wife seems somewhat preoccupied.

Alternatively, you should talk to an attorney about immediate ways to resolve who lives where.

Best of luck - sounds awful. Powell
