Of course you have rights, including the right to keep his girlfriend out of the house. Also, you do not need him to sign to get divorced. Consult a divorce lawyer to find out how this is done. http://www.NYCDivorceCenter.com

YES you are entitled to the house, in fact, you are entitled to an equitable distribution of all "marital assets."

You do not need to have his signature to proceed with the divorce. Hire an attorney if you want to divorce him.
