If our divorce is final, do I have to allow my ex to reside in our home?

The separation agreement states that we will have all of our property, debt, etc. divided by the 1st of the month after next. Does that mean I have to allow him to live in the home? In the separation agreement it was agreed upon that I would keep the house, debt, etc; therefore he no longer has any rights to the house.

Thank you for providing the information from your agreement and decree, but one really needs to read it in order to give accurate guidance here.  If you were awarded the house permanently - and I am assuming that he is to execute a deed to that effect - then no, you do not have to allow him to reside in the house after the divorce is final.  Good luck.
