I'd laugh at her ass... And tell her I don't think the couch will fit in there....

Wrong! Whoever leaves the relationship should be the one to leave the house (except for cases of abuse, obviously). If one want out of the marriage, then out of the house. It's unfair to ask the other person to leave when she is the one ending the marriage.

Careful out there. Divorce courts highly favor women. Just be prepared.

At least she's nice enough to pack it for you and not have it scattered across the lawn....right?

Like many other people have said, I hope you explained to her that that's not how it works and that she is free to leave at any time if she doesn't want to live with you anymore. Assuming, of course, that you have at least partial ownership to your home.

Don't leave. Especially if you have kids. It can be used in court against you.

If you think it is time to go then help her pack, but if you are not ready to move out then maybe offer a compromise of staying in a different part of the house. I know everyone is saying this but I will say it again. You only have to leave if you want to. I would email her now for documentation about any compromises or text but put it in writing so that it has to be transferred and tracked. If you have already left then contact her if you want and let her know that it is your home too (even if she is on the mortgage and you are not you are still a tenant) and you wish to reside in your home and exercise your rights. I hope this works out for you but you have to be strong and calm. If you loose your cool then she can use it against you - she might not but it is better to be calm.

It's complicated. In Canada, you don't have to be married for assets to belong to both of you and for them to be divided equally if you split up. You just have to live together for a certain amount of time(varies by province), be dependent on each other/contribute in some way, or have children, if you have kids, you're pretty much automatically common law. Also, it doesn't matter who pays the bills and whose name is on the mortgage/house, if they live together over the certain amount of time, it belongs to both of them. Although, if one's name isn't on the house it can make things very difficult for them and establishing any rights over it can be almost impossible. Since they're married though, all their assets are definitely shared, including the house, so legally, the wife CANNOT kick him out. However, here's where it gets stupid and complicated. Even if the house is shared and both names are on it, if one spouse kicks the other out and forbids them from the property, despite that it's unlawful, there isn't much the cops can do. They can escort the kicked out spouse to gather their things, but they can't force the other spouse to allow the kicked out spouse to live on their own property, even though it is shared. You have to get lawyers and social services involved to make the spouse comply, they have to go through paperwork, determine that the property is shared, draw up documents and a lot more, which takes a lot of work and time. Family law is often unfair and complex.

That tends to be the way most women think. It's all your fault, you get out.

Well, that's easy, don't. You have every right to be there and she cannot legally kick you out like that.
