How do I get an abusive finance out of my house?
I left an abusive relationship and my abusive finance is still living in my house. He is not on the deed but has paid rent to me for a year and a half. How do I get him out? If I get a restraining order does he have to leave? What are my rights versus his rights?

If you get a restraining order he will not be permitted near you or the house. That is an option you should consider regardless of how to get him out legally. If you own the house alone then he is nothing but a hold over tenant that you wish out of there. He has no ownership interest, correct? So evict him. Please speak with an attorney about the matter. Good luck.
