Wife wants me to leave - do I have to?

#345217 - 01/14/08 08:22 PM

Hi - first time post - first time to get divorced... apparently. We are in Oklahoma. The wife wants me out of house we are renting from her parents. I have no place to go yet and do not want to leave. She says I have "a few days" to find someplace to live and has taken our 5 year old son with her to her parent's to stay until I leave find someplace to live. When do I legally have to leave the house? Can she legally leave with my son? I know - I need a lawyer but would like something to base my actions on. I do not want the divorce. She wants one because "She doesn't love me anymore". I don't want a divorce because I still love her and do not think a broken home would be good for our son's emotional well-being. HELP!!!

Hi. I feel ya. I didn't want a divorce and my husband just left (after 15 years) with a note. In my case he wouldn't go for counseling. But there is that option. I am not an attorney but I have been a landlord and the person who owns the house can legally remove someone according to the terms of the lease. Did you sign a lease? I am sorry but don't know anything about the legalities of the child part. But I am betting if you don't have a signed lease she probably (or her parents) has a pretty good stand to make you leave.

NO, you do not have to leave. Period. And in most states, you have the right to insist that your child lives in "his" residence. File a petition to make her bring your kid back.

Focus on what is legally relevant, not morally indignant or petty.
