I am in the process of separating/divorcing from my husband. I am working on retaining my lawyer and currently still reside in the same house as my husband and children. (Financially, I have no choice but to stay in the house). The utility bills are in both our names- even though "he" pays them. I do pay "rent" to him. There is no separation agreement filed yet.

My husband has been telling me that on Mar 1 he can legally kick me out- but obviously, won't tell me how/why. My thoughts on this are that he is going to resign the lease with the landlord without my name on it, and then attempt to evict me.

Can he do this? How can I "one-up" him and make it difficult for him to evict me?

*side note* I'm sure this will also play in my favor: 99% of the time, I make the rent payment to the landlord, and the receipt is given in my name. If I continue to do this even if my name is not on the lease, will I still have rights?

He can't evict you from the family home until a separation or divorce agreement is entered.

He can not evict you since you are married, at such time as you reach a separation agreement or the judge in the divorce decides who gets to stay in the house.

Next no you do not pay "rent" to your husband, stop even saying or using that word. You are merely paying part of the rent with your husband,
You are under no obligation to give him a penny and he still can not kick you out.

Remind him when you leave with the kids, how much child support he may be paying
