Can my husband have me removed from the family home, of which we shopped together for, just before the wedding, and was supposed to be my wedding gift, but is in his name, (which he claimed had to be for the purpose of mortgage since he had the good credit and the income), but now he is claiming it is his sole property.

He was removed from the home last week in a restraining order for family abuse. He's been very abusive physically and emotionally since the beginning of the marriage, but had esculated to threatening our lives (my daughter, not his child, and my life).

He owns several properties and had moved into the vacant one when he left our family home.

He now is now claiming innocence and we have to go back to restraining order court. He is seeking for it to be cancelled as he's claiming innocence. He also is requesting the house be given to him in this proceeding rather than wait for the divorce process to sort out property assets etc. (I believe this is an attempt to make myself and daughter homeless, as per his previous threats to me if I tried to end the relationship).

He is also seeking to cancel the part of the order for emergency support to be paid

Now here's the financial aspect. He is the sole provider financially for us, since I had moved from out of state to be with him. He owns multiple homes, he lives in one, current, I am in one, others are rental property.

He owns his company, has a large 6 figure salary over 200k a year. I have no income. I worked for him, under dirress without pay for all the marriage. I was originally supposed to get a paycheck as he promised, and even did a w2 form, but he never paid me a penny. I was forced in indentured slavery, as so it felt.

Will the restraining order court allow him to kick us out on the street with no place to go or resources?

I can tell its going to be a very ugly divorce battle from his side. Unknown to me, he had just completed a divorce with a previous wife a year before our marriage, and it was very ugly as well. He hid assets, claimed business was bankrupt, etc.

I think we should be able to stay in the house till completion of divorce proceeding at the least, and division of assets. His has increased over the last 4 years, and I only want enough share of that to start over for me and my daughter and not be out on the street.

I would offer a quick settlement, but doubt he'd go for one even if it was less stress and better financially for us both. He is revengeful and doesn't believe in playing fair. He also believes everything is his, and I have no rights to anything but the clothes on my back and should leave the marriage with nothing but that, so he will not be reasonable.

Ideas?

Thank you.
