April, your lawyer will be able to help with your question about how to get your H out of the house. (What did your H say when you told him you wanted him to leave?) Lawyer will also tell you all about divorce and how things are likely to go and help guide you so you don't make any "mistakes" as you go through the process.

If possible, try not to let it become a battle. It will be easier for you if there is no war, even though your H does not sound terribly "worthy" of your good will. But truly, divorce is hell, and it goes so much better if you can avoid turning it into a battle.
You didn't mention if you had children or not, so I'm thinking you may not? That will make the divorce easier too.
What do you want to do about the house? Do you want to keep it and buy him out of the accumulated equity? Do you want to sell it to be done with the debt and split the proceeds? Having in mind what you really want to happen will help you as you move through divorce.
Good luck, AprilA.
