Re: can i be told to vacate the house,with 2 children
If you are given the use of a house under a restraining order, most housing courts will not use summary process to have your removed. However, the court(s) can condition your occupancy on your paying all of the costs of occupancy -- mortgage/rent, utilities, etc.
It may be time for you to consider relocating to the mainland, where there are more apartments and more jobs. This may seem unfair, but you will -eventually- be required to move out of the home if it is in your boyfriend's sole name. It is a matter of time before a court agrees to place the right of ownership first.

I suggest you contact a local divorce attorney and seek, child support from the 2 year olds father as well as seeking control of the house you are currently residing.
Good Luck
