Lynn: It would be a good idea to speak with someone on the Domestic Violence Hotline or contact someone at a Women's Services Center. You could also open an account in your own name and put a little in each month for a divorce/emergency fund and/or see if there are any free/low cost legal services in your area.

Pick a fight, then call the police. Log a domestic violence case and start building your case to get him kicked out. You can get the house and some of his paycheck. He might not be able to make ends meet, but with part of his paycheck and yours, you sure could.
