Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

My unemployment benefits have run out and my wife is threatening to kick me out of the house because I can no longer pay half of the mortgage and house expenses as I have been doing for the past 10 years. Can she legally do this without getting a divorce? Even if we do get a divorce, aren't I entitled to a percentage of the mortgage payments I have made for the past 10 years?
