Hello,

Unfortunately, as you are married, your husband has matrimonial home rights and you cannot get him out of the house until your divorce is finalised, unless he leaves the house voluntarily.

In such situations, the law encourages couples to try and mediate using the help of an independent person (mediator).

Unfortunately, it does not matter that the house is in your name only, as you are married to him, the law gives him matrimonial home rights.

All the best
