The short answer is yes, you can force a Spouse to leave the marital residence. But there are requirements that must be met in order to have a sole legal claim to the marital home. An agreement between spouses on who is to move out and situations of domestic violence are examples meeting the requirements.

In this case, the police should be contacted. You could also apply for a non-molestation order through the courts if your partner is being violent or causing harm.
