He cannot make you leave the state. You may wish to petition the court to allow you to run the business before he takes any action. You should consult a family law attorney to assist you.

File for divorce, request business be awarded to you, alternatively request spousal support and attorney fees. Do not leave the house. See an attorney.

The court will not order anyone to leave the state. The judge has the power to enter orders about who operates the business and who will receive ownership of it. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

He cannot force you to leave the state. You really need an attorney to help with a jointly owned business.
