No. As long as you are both owners, you have a right to stay there. However, if he files for divorce, he may be able, as part of the divorce filing, get the court to force you to move.

This is a too part question, can he grab you and throw you out the door ? Not sure is he big and strong enough ?
Can he throw everything you own out into the front yard one day while you are gone ? Yes, not legally but he can.
Can he change the locks one day while you are gone, yes, you will have to break in the house or call a locksmith to get back in.
He can of course do many illegal things, they happen all the time, esp with abusive husband, and many times with those that have drinking problems.
Legally no, you and he can fight over who keeps the house in divorce court.

Agreed. It all depends on what you mean by "kick me out". We get this question here a lot, and I can never figure out what the OP means by the term. I'm pretty sure the term is not meant in a literal sense (striking you with his foot so as to force you out).
Another meaning would be to simply command you to leave. Sure, he can do that, but it is also true that you can say "no".
