More details to this question:
How do I legally have my husband removed from the house while waiting the 90 days for the divorce to be final. The house is in my name and I pay for the mortgage. I can't afford to pay for the house payment and move out and pay rent.

You don't provide enough detail for a reliable answer. Basically, the question of who owns the house (and thus has complete legal control) won't be decided until the final decree of divorce is entered. The decree will either (a) approve the parties' agreement about who gets the house or what is supposed to happen & who has control or (b) reflect the judge's decision if the parties could not agree. Until that happens, you don't necessarily have any final authority to do anything.
