What do you want to do? Do you want the marriage to cease to exist? If so get a divorce. If you want to keep the marriage but want to divide all debt and obligations and not live together -- get a legal separation. That is a broad question you are asking.

You need to be able to support yourself and also provide a share of support for the children. It is very difficult to support two households on one income. Are you prepared to do so?

You want him to move out of the house and support you? Dream on.

It's his house, too. To get him out, you need to file for divorce or legal separation and ask for possession of the home. However, you need to be able to support yourself.

You can't force him to move out but you can request a court order granting you sole possession of the marital home. As for supporting you -- as everyone else has said, YOU need to do that. If he is an alcoholic you won't be able to count on him for child support let alone spousal support. And spousal support is NOT a guarantee in the state of Ohio. Are you working? What do you earn? What does he earn? What are your educational levels? What is the highest each of you has earned?
