    Typical female responses, would be up in arms if it was the other way round.
    Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

    Depends on the circumstances doesn't it, if a female was a bully or intimidating or abusive then yes they would deserve the same treatment.

    Has he explained why he is refusing to move out? Does he want her to "buy out" his matrimonial home rights?

    Yeah and nobody has said that the man in this case is abusive or bullying.

    It would seem that some are 'assuming' because they are getting divorced that it is 'his' fault and that he is abusive - big leap to take from what the OP has said.

    My Dh's ex did exactly as I described, he came home one night and his stuff was on the lawn, he called the police and they would do nothing to help him gain access and he was a joint owner.
    If you want this person out of the house then chuck him out, it's for him to prove he has the right to live there and if you do it on a Friday there's nothing he can do until Monday morning at the earliest by which time you can have a occupation order drawn up. Breach of this is a criminal offense, I am of course assuming there is a rational reason you want this person out not just that you don't love them any more.


    So your OH was abusive then?

    The Police are not interested because it is a civil matter. He could force entry and, as it is his home, the Police would not be interested (probably arrest him initially but would almose certainly release him without charge; may arrest your friend for harassment or something).

    The bottom line is, you cannot just treat people like sh t. Most deserve better.

    Well he was sleeping with somebody else - not me - so I can certainly see her point.

    I did assume because most people sort things out amicably under normal circumstances wouldn't they ?
