Which person has rights to your apt. would depend on the lease. If you both signed the lease then you would both be entitled to live in the apt. If one person is on the lease then the other person could theoretically tell the other person to leave. There are other factors as well, such as who is paying the rent, if it is a joint debt or if only one person is paying it. You should speak with your apt. management to see what the lease terms are. In any event, one person should probably move out, since it's never a good idea to go through a divorce and both be living in the same household.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
