If you own the home, you certainly have no obligation to vacate the marital home. Without more information, I cannot say if this is a wise financial situation, because it may be intolerable to live with your husband. However, if you file a petition for dissolution of marriage, you can file a motion for exclusive possession of the home. If the Judge grants your motion, your husband may be ordered to vacate the home.
