The house that was purchased during the marriage has my name on the deed, but the loan is in my spouse's name. Can he kick me out for not contributing. I have not contributed because I am maintaining the home I had prior to the marriage. My mother lives there.
The answer to your question is no; your spouse cannot kick you out of your own home. It is your home too and you have every right to be there. The only person who can decide whther you need to leave the home or your husband does, is the court. This is usually done at an initial hearing before the court commissioner, once the divorce is filed, or if there is an issue of harassment or domestic violence, at a restraining order hearing. Absent either of those, your husband cannot kick you out of your own home. Title to the property has nothing to do with it, nor how much you do or don't contribute to the home financially. Under Wisconsin law, it is presumptively 50/50 when getting a divorce.
