Home ownership and divorce
Ordinarily, the fact that the house was purchased in your husband's name has nothing to do with its characterization as community property. Your husband will have to pay child support for his child, and you may have a civil claim based on the family violence. Your remaining questions cannot be answered without further knowledge of the facts.
