I want to make sure I understand this correctly. In the state of Florida, or any state for that matter, there is no way to evict your spouse? You have to file for a divorce and ask for temporary custody of the house? Even if you live in an apartment complex? If the husband's name is on the lease, what do you do? Is a restraining order the only way to remove this person from the house or I wait for a divorce to become final? He has contributed nothing to the finances of this household. He contributes nothing emotionally to the family except emotional abuse. There is no physical abuse. He refuses to leave though except "with a police escort." He's not helping around the apartment nor will he even watch his own kids while I work to support us. He refuses to get a job. I want him out now, how do I do it?
