    Default How to Get a Verbally Abusive Ex-Spouse Out of a Co-Owned Home

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: Indiana
    I am living with a Verbally Abusive & Alcoholic Ex-husband. Our divorce decree allowed us to divorce and live together under one roof, dividing all expenses we share. I was so desperate to get divorced and severe the marital bond I had with him and any financial liability, I agreed. We had been separated since 2000, but still lived under the same roof. I have two sons from a previous marriage and two 80 pound pitbull dogs I call my granddoggies. My question is: Since we have both lived in the house since 1996 and the house is in both our names, is there anyway I can take him to court and get him out if he is a Verbally Abusive/Alcoholic that is constantly causing Caos in the house and making the house a living "hell". I have told him he can move out if he is unhappy living there. The way the decree is written up, if the house is sold or if any one of us passes away, our heirs would receive that part of the interest in the house at that time. He said that if he moves out, he wants half his equity in the house and his name off the mortgage. First of all, there is not equity in the house, because we owe more on the house now than what we paid for it. His name could be Quit Claim Deeded over to me and he would not be held liable for the house. I am willing to give him a reasonable lump sum to move out, so that he can move somewhere else to be happy and leave us alone. He has been treated for mental issues from his childhood past and drinking problems, so that's the kind of person I am dealing with and it seems to be getting worse. Is there anything I can do legally to get him out, other than me and mine moving out?

    If he agrees to accept your "reasonable lump sum" in exchange for quit claiming the home to you and moving out, and you can refinance the home such that he will no longer be on the mortgage, then that would be a solution. If you cannot refinance, then you will need to continue to negotiate.
