Also - is there any way that I can force him to leave and live elsewhere while in this process? He is very resistant to leaving, but I find the situation intolerable. I would leave myself, however we just relocated here from Phoenix, AZ and do not want to put my young children through another relocation . . . he could easily move out on his own. I have even offered to share time here with him while sharing a small studio apt. or a room for rent, but he refuses this idea. Thanks.
