Just to clarify, I currently live in the marital home which he owns and I have rented an apartment but I don't live there yet. I want to be moved out of the marital home and into my apartment when he returns. I am still hoping he might suggest that I should move out so I could agree on the condition that he pays my rent for 6 months, or something like that.
Why?
You rented an apartment and you're expecting him to pay for it - what would be his motivation to pay your rent?
This plan seems to be a bit shaky and the logic behind it is lost on me.
What part of this is DB oriented? Are you still trying to bust this divorce?
I rented the apartment because he originally was going to return late sept. I still live in the marital home to take care of my step-dogs.
Under the law in my state, a spouse who is the sole owner of the marital home can't kick the other one out without a court order. When it happens that way, it is fairly common for the spouse who owns the home to pay rent for the one who leaves during the pendency of the divorce. So it would be reasonable for him to say, I think it is best we don't live together so if you will move, without forcing me to go to court to make it happen, I will pay your rent for X number of months.
I am trying to ensure that I have what I need financially first and foremost. When he returns, I guess I will see if there is any possibility that the marriage could be saved.
