What happens to the ouse if we have been married for just under 3 years but unfortunately it is clearly over?

I bought the house before we married but have refinanced it since. During the refinance her name was added to the deed, but not the mortgage. She does not work – by her choice, not mine. She is degreed so is fully capable of earning a salary equivilent to mine, but has chosen not to. I cannot afford to lose the house (forclosure), and cannot afford two mortgages (or a mortgage and rent). How do I get her to leave, legally? Can I force her to move out? If so, how?

Given the situation that you have found yourself in, I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney as to your legal options. Based upon what you have written, you are caught between a rock and a hard place where either you or your spouse must voluntarily agree to move out of the current unit and rent.
