Unless and until a legal separation agreement or final decree of divorce has been granted, the house remainsthe "joint marital residence". This means that you both have a right to live there, no matter whose name it is in and no matter who pays all of the bills. If you want a divorce, you can file yourself; most states have on-line information for doing this. Also, if money is an issue, see if Legal Aid can help you out. If not, see if there is a law school in your area since they typically run legal clinics that take clients for free or reduced fees. Finally, see if your local county/state bar association has a list of attorneys who represent clients "pro bono" (i.e. for free) based on their income/circumstances.
