Divorce him. That is the first step, or pay him off and he'll sign a deed for his share of the house.

See an attorney, file for divorce or separate maintenance this, and get a temporary order of the court ex parte upon filing.

You are entitled to file suit for divorce and ask the court to set a temporary hearing to decide who has possession of the house, who pays which bills, etc. while the divorce is pending. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

You need to file a domestic violence restraining order action. Go to the court house and, if there is a self help window available, as for help there. If not, go to a paralegal who can help you for a lot less than a lawyer will cost.

File an action with the court (Petition for Divorce or Legal Separation) and then file a motion for a residence exclusion order.

If you are in fear for your safety file for a restraining order with a kick out.

If you jointly own the house, absent him voluntarily leaving, you could not remove him. If you were to file for divorce, with the complaint, you could file a motion for exclusive use of the home. If the motion was granted, the judge would order him to leave the home.
