You have a lawyer. I assume as part of the Petition he asked for use of the family home for you and the child as well as custody, child support and interim spousal support. I also assume there is a date or dates set for the custody, child support and interim spousal support and to determine who gets use of the family home during the pending divorce. When you get to the hearing the court should give you the house to use until the community is settled and order him out under threat of contempt of court.
