Do You Have To Move Out Of Your House During Divorce?

Your husband wants a divorce and tells you to get out of the house. You wife is angry and tells you to move out, she is getting a divorce. What do you do? This is often the way divorces begin and it is unfortunate. In Arizona, a house that was purchased during the marriage is presumed to be community property, in other words owned by each party. Once one party leaves a home, the court may later determine that the remaining party can change the locks, subject to the leaving party getting their personal property. Every case is different and there is no one answer to this question. If you find yourself in this position, it would be wise to seek the advice of an experienced family law attorney at the Best Law Firm. We can help! We offer free telephone consultations.
