I am not surprised he is giving you the silent treatment because he is realizing that none of his previous tricks to have you back under his control are working anymore and you are out of hold. Most probably the live in situation was very convenient for him because it allowed him to have the "best of 2 worlds", having an easy life at home while doing the bare minimum and looking good as a devoted husband and father to others. But since you decided to tear apart that smoke curtain, he now is being shown as he is... and it's something very difficult for him to handle, the reality is not matching anymore the projection of himself that he wants people to think/believe of him.
Stay strong, he might get even nastier. Just don't get into any of his traps to engage you in verbal fights.

You took the right decision to file, you tried everything and beyond. It's time for you to live in peace, to stop walking on eggshells on a everyday basis. It's obvious that he is still in his own world of selfishness. There is nothing you can do about it, he has to deal with it himself and hope that one day he can, so you can co-parent with someone with a better state of mind.

Now that you file, how long will it take until the D? Is there any way you can ask him to move out legally?

One day at a time, look forward and see that light at the end of the tunnel. You are a strong and great mom.
