A 50B (domestic violence protective order) can only be used in situations where domestic violence actually exists. It cannot and should not be used to get one spouse out of the house when no domestic violence has occurred. You may file for a divorce from bed and board, and ask for the court to distribute the marital residence to you if you have children. Otherwise, you will have to wait for a judge to decide who will have to leave the house, if you and your spouse cannot agree.
Good luck,

Greetings. Domestic Violence is generally physical abuse, or the threat of serious bodily injury. Mental abuse is not normally domestic violence. I would suggest that you talk to an attorney about your situation prior to filing for domestic violence. You can also contact Interact, a domestic violence shelter, if you need to get away from your spouse. Best of luck…and please take care of yourself.

My husband and I have gone around about the fact that I cannot have him legally removed from our home. I have a friend whose wife filed some sort of document (B50?, not sure) to have him removed from the premises until they could go to court regarding seperation. I live in NC and was wondering if there is such a document? Thank you.
