My friend was layed off a little over a month ago and unfortunatly like alot of people in america she hasnt been able to find another one at the moment not for lack of trying. now the problem is that her husband is threatening to kick her out on the streets if she doesnt have a job by the end of next week.I was wondering if she has any legal recourse due to marriage or anything you can think of.

They're married? If he throws her out on the streets, that's basically spousal abuse. Did he already forget about the whole "richer or poorer" thing? Yeah . . I bet she could go to the police if he did that. =p

my thoughts exactly the problem is that they are renting from his best friend so the friend would b the one actually doing the throwing

It's the husband's duty to stick by his wife. If he lets his wife get thrown out on the streets while he's nice and cozy with his buddy, then he's not living up to his end of the marriage deal. Either way, it's probably time for a divorce.

also she should get a hold of the renters contract because im sure it doesnt say any where in there that you can get thrown out if you dont have a job

Diclonius

as far as I know hes just renting from his friend and there is no lease papers

Darthelm

then that makes it a bit harder

Yeah I have been racking my brain for the last couple days about this

Yah it falls under spousal abuse. Even more it could be considered an assault if she has any medical issues.

He can not legally "kick her out".

As far as the law is concerned they are responsible for each other.
Everything he owns she owns and vice versa.
There's really no way for them to "legally" kick her out.
If the cops were to be called it would be considered a civil matter.

Assuming they're in a contract with the "friend"/Landlord then he could not evict a single resident with breaking the contract.(doesn't matter which of their names are on the contract)
If the husband were to kick her out then, if it were taken to court he would likely be forced to pay her alimony for her to move out and give her transportation in order for her to get on her feet and get a job.

If she's willing and able to take it to a lawyer then she will be fine.
But based on what I've read she needs to separate from him as soon as possible.
(despite the outcome)

i hope your friend gets sorted.
doesn't she have family she can move back in with.
i know it's a simple idea but some times the easy option is over looked when people are under going a lot of stress.

few questions.
did she try agencys for work?
are they going towards debt with her not working?
does she still love him?
im not sure if marage can protect her since divorsion is an option not only for her but to him also
