Can you make an abusive partner leave?

Gatty1997

Hi there, sister trying to get abusive partner to leave. Rented accommodation contract on her name as she rents the property for a long time, he moved in a couple of years ago when she got pregnant. She pays rent and all the bills. No physical abuse (yet) but tons of psychological abuse and threats. She went to the Gardai and also filed for a safety order. Court appointment will take a while and the situation is becoming unbearable. She gave him a month to leave but he is refusing. Can we change the locks to get him to leave or do we have to sit by and wait until he actually does something for the Gards to intervene?

Hi there, no he is not on the lease, not a single bill on the house on his name - since she pays for it all. All he paid was daycare for his kid for a while but not even that anymore.

Arguably he's a licensee but there's much better places to get advice, both practical and legal than boards. I would suggest contacting one of the relevant charities.

Womens Aid will know the best aporoach.

A safety order allows him to stay in the home.
Is he violent, or is she afraid of violence from him?
There are other orders she can get if in fear of physical violence, they can remove him from the home.
Are they still a couple?
