If I bought my husband out but the title to our mobile home is still in both names, can I make him move out before the divorce is final?
My husband and I bought a mobile home while married. We agreed that I would buy him out and remain in possession of the home after the divorce. I moved out of the house 2 1/2 months ago because he had no place to go and the fighting was unbearable. I paid him for the buyout via a check 1 month ago, but the title remains in both names. Does he have a right to stay in the home until the divorce is final?

You will have to get a court order for him to move out of the mobile home. You did not state that you were getting a divorce. If there is a family law case it will be much easier to get a court order removing him from the mobile home. You also need to get a court order removing his name from the title of the mobile home. If there is not a family law case itw ill require you to evict him. This will be complicated by the fact that his name in on the deed. You should obtain the assistance of an attorney to conclude this matter.
