I have recently filed the first step for a joint divorce application and am waiting to file the second part. My problem is that my stbx has stayed in the matrimonial home during the time of our separation (and is still here).
This would not be an issue if he contributed to the household, but he does not. Finances are severely strained as it is so this causes stress and is making me resent him even more.
So in short, I pay for all utilities, rent and any necessities for our son. He was in school (for the second time) and has decided to drop out and is currently looking for a job. He refuses to move out until he has a job which I can understand but it continues to put pressure on me and is slowly turning our amicable divorce into a rancorous one.
Is there anyway I can get him to move out sooner rather than later?
Some more information on the situation:
- He has not worked in over 4 years. I have carried the family and have incurred a substantial amount of debt. Which led to my filing for bankruptcy this year.
- During those 4years, he decided to go back to school but dropped out, then decided to go back. He has dropped out again but is not putting much effort into finding one.
- Can I have our lease put in my name only? I approached our landlord about an amendment but that would require his signature and he refuses to sign until he moves out. Of course, he won't give me a date for a move yet.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. As I said before, I wouldn't mind him staying if he actually contributed (not just monetarily).
