How do I get my SO to move out?

Id pack his bags change locks and when police come tell them hell no, it will become a civil matter or u can give 3 day notice then go file at courts prob cost u around 125 and he can then go depends on what he will do and how he may react

File. It seems your mind is made up. He doesn’t have to leave the home as you purchased it during your marriage. I hope he doesn’t fight you on it. I also would delete this from your history in case he snoops through your Facebook activity. You wrote he does contribute to your mortgage. He can definitely use it in court. Unfortunately, you can’t just throw him out. If he leaves it will look like abandonment if you file for divorce. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is waiting on you to make the first move. If you aren’t married, start an eviction process. Legally you can’t throw him out.

Just because the house is in your name doesn’t mean it’s yours. Yall are common law married and therefore the house and cars are community property. You said he pays the mortgage so it’s half his. Sorry but you will have to go to court

Since he has lived there for more than 30 days, and, I assume, gets mail there, it’s technically his residence. Since the house is in your name only, you’re technically his “landlord”. Send him a letter via certified restricted mail. This means that ONLY he himself can sign for the letter. The post office will continue to bring the letter, but will only hand deliver it to him, so he will have to sign and can’t say he never got it. In the letter, give him 30 days to vacate the premises. When that 30 days arrives, if he’s gone, great. If not, you can then go to your local court house and file an eviction process. The sheriff will deliver the papers to him at your house, you’ll go to court, a judge will order that he vacate. Once that’s ordered, you can schedule a time and date with the sheriffs office for them to come out and physically escort him from the property. He will have to take all of his belongings with him right then, because he won’t be allowed to return to the property. You could also sell your house. Since the deed is in your name, he would have no say in you selling.

If you have a job ,you’re taking care of the bills why don’t you move?

Depends on what State you live in? If it’s AZ, after 5 years it’s considered common law, community property estate, so that means all is divided if he contests to get out. My advice, stop getting the mortgage money from him, tell him to use it to find a place and get out as it’s affecting your children. He still needs to pay for support of the two you have together then again that all depends in which state you live in. Best of luck!

Before allowing him to go back y’all should had talked about the cheating or gotten some counseling. If he was out already and the issues were always there why let him back in? Why be upset cuz he bought himself a bike. Y’all both bought a house together you say he pays the mortgage and you staying with the house cuz it’s only under your name. Y’all need to sit down and talk and tell him he gots to go. It’s not a healthy situation for you or him or the kids

Call the cops and have that loser escorted off of your property, file separation and divorce papers with a lawyer, file emergency custody of the children you share and literally call a lock smith have the doors locks changed. Maybe a PFA on File as well if you see it getting on ugly. Good luck all of that sounds like a toxic mess.

Talk to a lawyer, they will help you know what the law is.

Here in South Carolina, I had to give him a written letter giving him 21 days to leave then I had to have him eviction, but we didn’t have kids together, if your state have common law marriage u have to get a divorce , so if you can talk to him and see if he will just leave

Eviction papers, give him a date. You tried, twice to give him the chance. You don’t owe him any more than that.

Don’t say anything to him until you retain a male, Attorney who will help you get you and your children’s future & financial House “in order”.

Talk to a lawyer. You may be able to evict him.

The rules around what he is and is not entitled to depends on where you live, if your married and or common law at this point it may not matter if the house is completely in your name or not. If it’s over and you want him out there’s no real nice way of putting it other then to say it.

You have to legally evict him if he won’t leave. It’s been his residence for awhile now.

Change the locks,put his stuff out on the lawn

You have to get an eviction from the court in your area.

Kick him out and move on and enjoy life , start treating yourself , live happily ever after

Sounds like all you can do is give him an eviction notice and get the courts involved. If he is not on the mortgage but giving you the money for it then he’s technically a tenant at this point. If you have asked him to leave and he doesn’t, the only thing that will work is a court order.

hes not leaving. he has a place to stay and no responsibilities. you have to make him. no more mrs nice girl

File for divorce and include a 30 day eviction notice

Oh man this is so hard and it’s not even my situation.
If it was me (and he wasn’t abusive in any means ant you’re not afraid of him) I would change the locks while he was out, and leave some of his belongings in a safe spot outside (enough for a week or so).
Send him a message explaining the situation and that it was for the best because he’s not taking the step himself.
After he has left, calmed down and taken the hint that it’s over, let him come get the rest of his stuff.

That’s literally best case scenario though. Emotions make people crazy. All the best to you lovely :heart:

He doesn’t need to father the first two kids if there not his, there’s nothing wrong with just being there friend. He should give them a cuddle every now and again but they already have a Dad. If he pays mortgage it’s still his house no matter who’s names it’s under.
I wouldn’t stay with someone whose cheated. Could you sell the house and give him half and let him have 50/50 custody of the children?

2 Likes

This is not a partnership at all, you’ve been clear you want him out and he’s not taking you seriously in any way shape or form, his lack of care for your children is quite frankly worrying and I’d say bordering abusive, he may not be nasty but a lack of affection sticks with a person.
You’ll never be able to forget the cheating either, from experience, you can paper over it and even still have a good relationship but in the back of your head it will always be there that sickening feeling of what if, you don’t deserve that and your kids don’t deserve to witness it.
I’d bag up his stuff whilst he was out and get the locks changed, maybe also get the kids elsewhere for a sleepover for the night incase you’ve few choice words for him when he gets back. Reclaim your space and your life because it sounds like this guy isn’t really bringing much to the table. He may work hard but what is your family seeing from it other than you crumbling under your mental load.
Money and jobs mean nothing if you’ve got no support and nobody having your back

My suggestion? Change the locks put what he needs in a bag outside clothes for work phone charger etc etc. call his mother or his sister or his buddy or whoever it is that he will go and stay with. Tell them what you’ve done.
Then sit down have a glass of wine and be damn proud of yourself…
Your post says that he and the kids may be hoping that you’ll figure things out. That’s not fair on anyone… you’ve got to think about the kids first… then yourself. And quite frankly you ain’t gotta think about him 1 bit. Throw him out on his arse. He’s got money coming in you’ll see how quick he finds himself somewhere to live after that. Job done.
Keep us posted!

You need to make it legal. Get a legal separation and see if your state allowes eviction notice. Be ready to change the locks. If there is any way to get in the house without a key. Fix so he cannot get in. Put his stuff on the porch or rent a storage unit. Give him a key for the storage unit.

You can’t just kick him out but you can file through the magistrate to evict him. If he knew you wanted him to leave and still paid 9K for a motorcycle I would say he isn’t planning on leaving ever. Tell him you don’t want to evict him but if that is what it takes you will. Life is too short for this… I can’t believe a father that lives with his kids has no clue what school they attend :woman_facepalming:t2: find a partner that will love the kids and you equally and want to be an active part of their lives. Good luck! :heart:

Where is the father of your 3 children, if he isn’t their father why did you try to impose this responsibility on him. Did he know that was your expectation of him. Why isn’t he a good parent to the two kids in common. Answer those questions and you will get some answers. If thelive is gone hire a lawyer and get the ball rolling.
Just remember how hard it is to be a single parent so I would proceed very carefully.

Find a good lawyer to help you navigate your exit.
Legally you are the sole owner of the property but he sure that’s not what he thinks since he pays the mortgage.
Since you have two children with him there will be child support for them, depending on his income it may be enough to cover your mortgage in a new house. I wouldn’t stay in a home where he has some type of connection.Also be mindful of custodial arrangements / visitation.

Well it seems like you’ve made it clear to him. I’d say something like “I give you this date (pick a specific date) to get yourself moved out. If not, it can escalate to police escort as I have asked you multiple times.” I’m assuming it’s your house as in you own it? Is his name on it? He needs to prove a few years worth of consistency before you take him back, if you wanted to.

Go to the courthouse and file for an eviction

If y’all are not married then he has no claims to the house! You can ask him to leave nicely or go ahead an file an eviction. You can give him 45 to 60 days to find his own place. I think that’s fair enough. But if you don’t like peace, then keep him there just or his portion of the mortgage and the insurance.

Bring a guy home one night and I’m sure he won’t want to be there :joy:

When he’s gone change the locks. If he’s unreasonable get a restraining order. He doesn’t respect you, or your children. He doesn’t deserve kindness as he never showed any to you or your beautiful children. You are very lucky its in your own name! Good luck.

Get an eviction notice for him, otherwise he won’t leave. He may even fight that down to the last days, but an eviction notice would be the best way to go.

Meet with an attorney. Request him pay all legal expenses even yours. Since he is giving u the money for the mortgage and you are in a common law marriage with children you will have to divorce the normal way. If you left, a judge would give you the house back or evict since u have the children. Do it legally. Have him served.

I think you need to give him a date to move out by ie 2months and if he doesn’t then you need to decide what you want more to be free of him or keep your house. If it’s in your name you can sell it and he has no say he will be 100% forced to live out or you tell him you’ll be changing the locks on whatever date he’s expected to move out by so he knows you’re serious. Maybe that night/ evening arrange to have your kids go to sleepovers so if he decides to make a scene you won’t give in for the kids sake so they don’t have to see it

Do not start an eviction or selling house without legal advice, especially since you have children.

If your state is a community property state, he gets half the house.

You have to make it sound like it is for his benefit and he deserves more and in the end it has to seem like it was his idea to leave for it to work.

Depending on what state you live in, he will get half of everything sadly. He is paying rent as he should be. But if you have a 401k or savings, stocks …. Anything like that he gets half. And same for you. The motorcycle was bought during your marriage. He can pay you for half to keep it. And I would file because then he needs to pay child support. Rip the band-aide off. Life is too damn short for bs games.

Only my opinion but…women need to learn to stop being so forgiving when a man cheats. That totally crosses the line. He had a choice…cheat or go to counseling or see a clergy and ask for help. You let him get away with by taking him back…more than once! You also allowed him to get away with not helping in all kinds of ways, with the kids, sharing bills, why should he want to move out. You have another kid to raise and he is taking full advantage of the situation. But …you are the problem! You are allowing him to walk all over you, use you, sleep on the couch! The worst thing of all is you are teaching your kids that this is what to expect. This is ok! And it’s not! I’m not saying these things to be mean! I was cheated on too and had three kids. I didn’t want my daughter to think all men are supposed to treat you this way. And I didn’t want my sons to think they that this was the way a man treats a woman. You need to go to counseling, get him out of your house, and stop being a fool. He bought a motorcycle!!! He is so comfortable being able to get away with his games, because you have never stopped letting him use you!
Yeah, he is a huge problem, but you are guilty of allowing that man to use you. Please, I beg you, get rid of him! Go to counseling! Obviously, you need help or you wouldn’t have let this go on this long.
I pray for you and your kids to get through this situation!
Without him!

You’re going to need a lawyer since you have lived together so long and have children together. If the court does not order him to pay child support you will never see a penny. Keep seeing a lawyer a secret from him. Go talk to every family court and divorce lawyer around. Tell them everything then decide which one to use. Since you have told all the lawyers about your case. In many states they can not ethically represent him. He won’t have much to choose from.

As you have been together for over 2 years legally he is entitled to half of everything as you are entitled to half of everything. Go and speak to a lawyer as soon as possible.

If he does so very little, you are essentially making it on your own without his a**. Kick the useless space and air taker to the curb.

Him leave. Seek legal counsel. Don’t let him control
You by having life easy and a place to stay!

Basically, he’s “renting” from you. Give him a 30 day notice to vacate the premises. Send it to him at his business address, certified, so you have proof. And also, hand one to him in person…after 30 days, if he’s still there, pack his things, set them out and change all of the locks. Police don’t like to get involved with domestic situations. If, he starts getting weird on you, that’s the time to call them though and that’s when you should get a restraining order. It’s usually more beneficial to the person who starts legal action first. Be prepared! After, he receives the eviction notice, he may seek legal council. You will have to be smarter than him.

Give him a date to have all his things gone and then serve him an eviction notice …he’s one of the kids anyway

Sit down see a lawyer u have asset together home business savings etc get all savings and put in kids bank check his business out is it worth same as house if so agree he has business u keep ya home. Sitt him down tell him want divorce and this what gonna ha0pen or u going court and taking half his business he go as say it’s his baby his business

Would you ever consider selling your home and moving? The energy in your house after years of this toxic relationship is probably very detrimental to the health of you and your kids anyway, so it might be a good idea to cut your losses.

Go to the courts and file and eviction notice. This is where you start. See an Attorney.

Think you will find that if he has been living in the home you bought together for 3 years, that he has a claim on the house .

Talk to a lawyer in your state. Is common law a thing there? Are you requires to give him a notice? At this pace I would go the legal route

Go talk to a laeyer and go from there. You don’t have to evict him if he is served with divorce papers. I wouldn’t stay with a man that’s cheated. It’s up to you to decide how to handle the situation. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Serve him a 30 day notice to vacate and then go see a lawyer. Do not lock him out you’ll be breaking the law
