Can a wife keep a husband out of the home – against his will – to cause actual separation between them during the divorce proceedings, where he is not violent, but just to make life easier ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 23 June, 2022No! In principle, a husband can only be banned from the family home by way of a court order on the basis of his violent behaviour – physical or emotional – towards his wife or children, or where there is a substantial threat, or substantial risk of violence towards a family member living there. An order cannot be granted just to separate the spouses and make it easier for the wife during divorce proceedings .
