If my daughter signed a lease agreement and is filing for divorce does she need to submit a formal eviction notice to her spouse to move him out

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at Overstreet Law Firm
Since they are married, your daughter should get a temporary order with a move-out date for the husband. In eviction court, he could just say he's her husband and the judge won't have jurisdiction to evict him. This is a family law matter that should be handled in family court.
