Until there is a final decree of divorce or formal separation agreement in effect that states who has the right to possession of the premises, the home remains the "joint marital residence". This means that both spouses have the right to live there. This is true no matter whose name is on the deed. At this point, you should consult directly with a local divorce attorney.
