Walsenburg, CO Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You cannot force her out unless you file for divorce and convince the court that you should have exclusive use of the house. This will be based on the living situation being intolerable, and your wife having another place to afford to live.

It is not a big deal - we do it often. As long as you have lived here for more than 90 days, you file here and serve him in the other state. We often help with cases like this on a low-cost flat fee basis if you'd like assistance. I hope this helps.

There are several things you can do to keep the home as your separate property in case of a future divorce. You could have any future spouse sign a pre-nuptial agreement disclaiming any interest in the real property you owned prior to the marriage. You should also avoid adding your spouse to the title or to the loan obligation in case of a refinance. You should also make the payments on the mortgage and property taxes and upkeep on the home from a separate bank account. Even if a spouse is not on the title to real property, and even though the property is purchased and owned prior to the marriage, they may have a claim on a portion of any increase in the value of the property if they contribute to the increase in value (improvements) or if their income goes into a joint account that pays expenses associated with the property.
