Re: Abandonment/Marital

If he pays the bills, and more important, is on the lease, there is no legal reason why the husband cannot have access to the house.

However, that does not mean he has the right to disturb your quiet enjoyment of the house. Of course, he has not right to threaten, intimidate or do something illegal.
