Technically yes but you can Petition the court for custody of your children and use and possession of the marital home, whose equity should also be divided.

He can unless you go to court and ask for an order to allow you to stay there until the case is finalized.

No. At very least, he would have to start an eviction proceeding. In addition, he has a child support obligation that makes him liable for payments to you if you left with the children retroactive to the date you file a support petition, and you may also seek spousal support as part of that petition pending an order from the supreme court. In addition, you can make a motion seeking relief related to the housing. You should be consulting an attorney if you are divorcing. Do not let your spouse determine things unilaterally with your signing off on things.
