Absent a protective order, you both have rights to stay. It is not hard to obtain a protective order

as the statute is very broad. You might want to file for dissolution asap and ask for a provisional order allowing you to stay in the house. If you do not have children, the court will make a determination based on who is in the better position to find and afford alternaticve housing on a temporary basis. good luck.
