Legal Question in Family Law in California

My husband just kicked me out of the house. I'm now staying in my shop. I know that I should move forward with a divorce/separation but what are my options until then? Yes my name is on the deed, no I don't feel safe there and I moved with him from florida almost 3 yrs ago so I don't have family here either.

This doesn't seem to be a legal question. Until you file for divorce and file any appropriate motions to regain occupancy of the house and any other appropriate orders such as sole occupancy or even a restraining order against him, you can either force a confrontation by moving back in, or find a motel. Your legal options are to move back in, which you can enforce with police assistance if needed, or stay away until you can get court orders that you get to live there and he doesn't, as part of a divorce case. Those orders can be obtained in a matter of days once you file, and the requests for the orders can be filed with the divorce petition, but no orders can be requested or obtained until you open a case with the court.
