More details to this question:
I currently reside in a home owned by my husband who I'm separated from. Can he kick me out or change my locks without notice? He pays for the home and he moved out in 2009, he doesn't pay spousal support because he has primary custody of our children. He is saying he wants my keys or will change the locks so I can't get in. Wasn't served any eviction notice or any documents saying I must vacate. Wondering what my rights are and if I have to move out. I've got no income and can't work and only receive foodstamps currently. Any help would be appreciated.

Even in a family situation you cannot be evicted without a court order, after being served with papers. As this is a matrimonial issue, as long as you respond to any eviction, you will not be thrown out.
