Hoe can I divorce my ex if he will not leave the house?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Julie Anne Ringquist (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Julie A. Ringquist
If you have $5,000 to offer him, maybe you should use that money to get another place for yourself pending the divorce. File your Divorce/Dissolution papers at the court, have him served, if you want to, as for custody, visitation, child support, spousal support orders (although it sounds like you might be the one paying), ask for exclusive use of the house (before you move out). If your motion for exclusive use of the house is denied and the court allows both of you to stay there until the divorce is finalized, you may want to move out.

Do we need to file jointly for 2013 since it is a new tax year and our divorce has not yet been filed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Loren Paul Zahn (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Zahn Law Office
You aren't required to file jointly ever, but for tax year 2012, filing jointly may be preferrable to filing married filing separately. It is your joint choice on what to do. As for service, if he signs and returns a Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt (FL-117) and you file that attached to a proof of service, then he will be properly served. He doesn't have to be formally "served" if he accepts service by mail. Just have someone other than you sign the bottom of the Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt and the Proof of Service forms.
