If you and he are married, you can't evict him from the marital home: spouses can't be removed from the marital home while still married (they can voluntarily leave, but can't be forced to go). You can divorce him; in the divorce, the court will determine who gets to live where; who gets what assets (e.g. ownership of, or a share of equity in, the house, or money in the bank); who has to pay support (alimony) to whom; child custody; and can make the non-custodial parent pay child support to the other. Based on what you write, filing for divorce right away would be the thing to do, if you are married.
If you and he are not actually married and you own the home, you can remove him: a non-married romantic partner or parent of your children has no rights to live in property you own against you will. You would bring a kind of legal action traditionally called an action "for ejectment," which can be thought of as eviction for non-tenants (people not paying rent to live there).
In either event, consult with an attorney: a family law attorney for a divorce, or a landlord-tenant attorney (they also do ejectments) to remove him if not married.
