Me: Babe, why are you putting your clothes in my closet, you're taking it over!
Wife: Isn't' that what you call 'adverse possession'?!
Me::-O:'(
That's not adverse anything, just plain married life.
If you value peace in your marriage, you'll cover it with permissive use.
Yes dear.
Acquiescence...
DDSM:beer:
Open, notorious, continuous...and hostile.
I don't even get squatters rights! I live out of a suitcase! :-O
Lease the space to her for a dollar per year.

There is not enough information to make a decision yet. You need more evidence.
1. Adverse possession is a title doctrine, you may have a boundary issue. Interview all your neighbors about the boundary between closets, reputation in the community, etc.
2. Is your sofa comfortable?
if what hers is hers and what yours is hers isn't that color of title?

Don't mess with the sovereign...
Happy wife, happy life!

Who is paying the property taxes on the closet space?
Intimate Domination
Good luck with that argument.
Go into refrigerator, ooh look that sharp cheddar looks good. Get some for a snack, "YOU KNOW THAT CHEESE IS EXPENSIVE?"
Yeah, my money paid for it so I'm eating it. Sheesh.
Damn right, Dave. Is your sofa comfortable?
When the closet door is closed, I do not believe she would satisfy the "open" part of AP.
Or move her stuff out once a year and put your stuff there. Take a picture with a newspaper for the date. Put her stuff back. You have squashed continuity.
You guys got me baffled. I thought as soon as the wife saw the closet and said "mine" that was when all of the elements of AP had ripened. As to "putting her clothes back in the same place", good luck with that one.
I'm with Dave though....I get claim to the sharp cheddar after I paid for it.
