Don't move out of the marital home without thinking it through and getting advice first. Under Colorado's Automatic Temporary Injunction, both spouses generally have an equal right to stay in the home while the case is pending, and one spouse can't force the other out without a court order (domestic violence situations may be the exception). Moving out doesn't forfeit your ownership interest, but it can shape the temporary parenting schedule (the parent who stays with the kids creates a status quo a court is reluctant to disrupt), and you may end up paying for two households. Sometimes leaving is the right call for safety or sanity. Ensure that this is a deliberate decision, not a heat-of-the-moment one.
