Re: eviction
Yes. You can seek help from the state abused woman's support groups. You can seek an order forcing him to vacate your apartment and stay at least 100 yds away from you.
I strongly suggest you contact a abuse support group. If you cannot afford an attorney, I suggest you contact Boston legal services.
Re: eviction
You can contact your local elder services agency. As a resident of Wakefield, you are covered by Mystic Valley Elder Services in Malden. Their number is area code 781, three two four - seven seven zero five. I am spelling the number because we are not allowed to provide phone numbers on this site.
Elder services agencies can initiate a protective services investigation and will take steps to protect you. You may also contact your local police department. You should feel safe in your own home. You deserve it.
Best of luck.
