If she is on title to the home--then you have no right to kick her out of the house. Domestic violence restraining orders have a mechanism to get a "kick-out" order, but you can only use them if there has been some sort of abuse or threat of abuse by her. You should consult with a local family law attorney about the ramifications of moving out and ask specific questions about how Epstein and Watts would apply here.
Best of luck.
