Domestic Violence
questions & answers
Question: I have been married for almost 11 years with 5 children ages 7 and under. I have been a stay at home mother for almost 8 years, have been attending school full time at home for the past 3 years and have plans to continue until I've reached my doctorate, which will take approx another 5 years. I found out my husband is being unfaithful and I want a separation but he won't agree to one, so I'd like a divorce. Is there a way I can get him to leave our home we own while I'm dealing with finding an attorney and filing? He won't be happy/nice if he knows. He won't let me let me leave with the kids.
Answer: If there has been domestic violence, as suggested by the category chosen, then a person may get an order of protection which can allow sole access to a property. Information about orders of protection can be found here: https://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/superiorcourt/protectiveordercenter/oop.asp
