A: You need a lawyer.

You should have asked this question a month ago.

Now it is too late to do anything but be prepared to leave and take as many of your belongings that you can take with you. But you still need a lawyer. Look up the Orange County Bar Association's website and go to their Lawyer's Referral Service (LRS). They should be able to refer you to any number of low cost attorney help lines.
