He just unlocks the doors and says "you can't legally kick me out. My name is on the mortage." He has spoken to a lawyer at some point who told him that unless I am being physically abused, I have no right to make him leave.
That is so infuriating. I would feel differently about it if he was contributing. I am curious to see what the lawyer says about this. It may be that you would have to file for a legal separation to get him out of the house. Who knows, that could be the route to go to protect your sanity, your credit, and let him know you mean business.
Remember that the lawyer appt. is just for info gathering. You don't have to do anything, you are just having some questions answered. Knowledge is power.
I know you are overwhelmed and are having advice shoved at you from every direction....just take it one step at a time and take whatever advice you find useful. You are the only one that truly knows your sitch and your H. If you need to have a good cry, then have one.
Sounds like you have some good things planned for the evening. It is good to get frustrations out through exercies.
