Tensions between divorcing parties are often highest at the infancy of the process Conversations regarding which party will remain living in the marital home and which party will move out can become very contentious. When neither party is willing to leave the marital home voluntarily, family law practitioners should be well versed in the process (and expected standard of proof) of filing a motion seeking the presiding judge to order the other party to vacate the marital home pursuant to Mass General Laws Chapter 208, Section 34B.
This program will address the statute, the applicable level of scrutiny, motion drafting tips, and a recent Rule 23.0 Appeals Court decision (J.C. v. A.C., No. 22-P-712) that is helping further guide the conversation within this rather underreported area of domestic relations practice. The program will also discuss alternatives to filing a motion to vacate as it relates to counseling clients as to options available to her/him in dealing with marital home disputes occurring early in the divorce process.
