Unless and until a legal separation has been entered into (or a final decree of divorce has been granted) stating which spouse has the right to possess and occupy the premises, it remains that "joint marital residence". This is true no matter whose name is on the deed (or lease). It is also true whether or not one of the spouse's has committed adultry. The only exception is if one spouse put the other spouse (or another occupant) in fear of their physical safety; at that point a restraining order could be obtained which would prevent the offensding spouse from entering the home.
