You can file a complaint for Partition have the house sold and the money split.
If you are contemplating pursuing a divorce, consult with a family law attorney regarding your options. If there is any equity in the property, you will lose that if the property goes into foreclosure, and your husband will be forced out anyway. Of course, that would also have a detrimental effect on your credit. So if you want to keep the house and are willing to buy your husband's equity, he would be foolish to reject such an offer, even though he would have to find a new place to live. If you have minor children in your custody, you could get a court order forcing him to leave as part of a divorce proceeding,
