What steps needed to evict bipolar/cheating spouse

[lvrobertjw]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NV

My wife had a major breakdown 3 months ago, and now she wants out of the marriage. She's agreed to leave, but hasn't yet. Recently I found phone records of her cheating with a co-worker. What steps do I need to take to legally kick her out. We always had a "rule" in our marriage, if you cheat you leave with just the clothes on your back. Can this be enforced? The house is under both our names. I have a new lock ready to go.

What makes you think you can force her to leave HER house?

You can't enforce your "rule".

File for divorce and move.

I'm sorry, which part of she agreed to leave did you not understand? She doesn't want the house, bad memories or too much work for her. I simply asked for which steps are necessary to make sure she doesn't change her mind, or keeps me from changing locks.
I fear her unstable mind.

Quite frankly doesn't matter. YOu cannot force her out. File for divorce. Ask for sole possession of the marital home. Once you have a court order granting you sole possession then she has to leave. You cannot legally change the locks. Oh and you have to pay her half of the equity in the house -- the court will order you to do that if this goes to trial.

I'm sorry, but what part of MY response didn't YOU understand?
So, she said she'd leave and then changed her mind...it doesn't make a difference. She has the right to change her mind. You cannot force her out of the house.
