A: Is the house in your name or his? You said the house is in your name, but you quit claimed the deed to him. Did you give him a 50% share or a 100% share of the house.?

Regardless, obtain a copy of the quit claim deed and retain an experienced attorney to file for divorce and seek a temporary order so you can obtain possesion of the house until a final order is entered.
