Re: Renting the House
You refer to the children as "my kids", but I'm assuming they are his as well. If so, you need to immediately file a petition for custody and child support. You could do this separately or as part of a petition for limited divorce. He will be ordered to produce income documents, and that would include the rent he's receiving from the "tenants" in your house. The amount of support he's going to have to pay will be determined from the MD child support guidelines and is based upon his income and any you have. You should immediately consult a family law attorney who can assist you with this.
