Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

I owned a house for 4 yrs prior to my marriage last year. Deed and mortgage are in my name only. My husband and i wil be filing for divorce soon. In the meantime I plan to rent out my current home and move back to my hometown. Do I have to give legal notice to my spouse? He has lived here for a year. He does not pay any household bills or mortgage. We are residents of SC but I will be moving back to NC. I simply cannot afford this home any more and I have no financial assistance from him, but i know he wants to keep the house. what are my legal rights? I was planning to give him 45 days notice once i get a rental contract on current home. Thank you.
