If you are living in the marital home and it would be considered as such by the court, then you and your husband have equal rights to stay in your home. Your husband can, however, ask for exclusive occupancy of the home pending the outcome of the divorce. So can you. I think that you should speak with an attorney.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
