My boyfriend and I purchased a home together. We have

lived there for about 8 years, I have paid approximately 18,000 into mortgage payments. He wants

me to move out. I don't want to lose what I have

You have very limited choices. You most likely will end up filing a petition for partition of the jointly owned real estate. Had you been married you would be filing a petition for dissolution of marriage which would include a division of property rights. Similarly, a petition for partition seeks to divide up property rights in real estate owned by more than one person when the relationship breaks down.
