My rights in a trial separation

[Very Confused]

My wife and I have separated. I agreed to leave the house and respect her wish of giving her time to sort out her feelings of unhappiness due to me.The problem is that there is a man and his daughter living in the house currently with my wife and daughter and the sole reason was so that he could put his daughter into a better school district than the one she was in. To this day he has not looked to get a place of his own nor has he attempted to sell the house he owns in Forest Park, Il. because his ex-wife and two sons are still living in it. The excuse I am being given is that he could not afford to rent an apt. for himself and maintain the mortgage on his house at the same time. Do I have any legal rights to ask him to leave the house even if my wife says that he can stay?

My response:

Sorry about the delay in responding to you sooner.

However, it's not good news. If your wife has an ownership interest in the house, along with you, she has an equal right to decide who can come into, or stay, in the house. Therefore, if she wants someone to be a "boarder" while you're out of the house, she has every right.

Even if you decide to stay in the house, she has a right, as an owner, to allow whomever she wants to stay in the house. I realize that such a decision doesn't seem fair, or very healthy to a marriage, but property rights don't take into account the status of a marriage - - or whether one owner decides to move or not.

Hello I Am Always Liable, Unfortunately , you are right. Your news is not good news and you are not the only person who has basically said the only true and legal way of getting him and his daughter out of the house is to divorce my wife forcing her to sell the house and it may have to come to that in light of some recent disturbing info I have gotten from a friend of mine. Mind you I am not saying that you said exactly what I have just printed but that is the bottom line in this matter and that is why I have to speak to a lawyer. Thank you for responding with your opinion on my situation. I appreciate any help I can get because it really hurts in my heart after 14 years of marrige to find out that my own wife has been using me and manipulating the person she is supposed to love for the rest of our lives. That being the case when taking and accepting marital vows. Sincerely, Very Confused
