In all states, unless said spouse gets some kind of TRO, or restraining order, Said spouse cannot kick the other out of the marital home. While the police won't enforce most of the time, Its illegal to kick your spouse out without a restraining order or TRO/PFA. This also means, if said spouse changes the locks, the locked out spouse has the right to break in.

I have heard of locking bed room but not home. But i wonder can't they all lie "he hit me" and get, an instant restraining order?

Then we have the real cases where he pushed her down and stole her phone... only he gets to stay?

It wouldn't be true or false as law isn't universal

Except it's false in all 50 states unless they have a restraining order or tro/pfa

Perhaps do some research

In most cases, a person cannot legally kick out their spouse without a court order, in every state. There are exceptions, but almost all cases require a court order.

With a TRO, yes.

Ah but ONLY with a TRO/Restraining order. they can't just willy nilly say "I want you out of this house"
