He can't kick you out without an eviction order.

No. He has to file some sort of eviction proceeding, which means that you get to tell your side of things in court. Get a lawyer so you do not get screwed out of your investment in the relationship.

You need to go to professional counseling. You have no legal right to the house as it is his, but you may be able to argue that you should be compensated for the improvements. What is fair is not necessarily right.

Who's name is on the house? That will rule.

Do you own the property or rent? Are you on the deed or lease? If you are, then he can't kick you out without a court order. If you are not, then you can claim you are a tenant or sub-tenant and make him evict you. If you are not married you can't file taxes together.

You did not acquire any rights because you lived with a man for 15 years or 150 years. Marriage would have given you some rights, but all you folks who don't believe in marriage anymore are hurting yourselves if the house is in your joint names he cant do anything. If it is in his name he is boss. If you have been making mortgage payments you could sue him on some sort of trust theory perhaps and say he was holding title for you in trust. But that would not be a strong case. anything in your name is yours. Anything in joint names is jointly yours. Anything in his name is his. Get you a local lawyer to review your case carefully and see if there is anything worth trying to protect yourself.
