What is the name of your state CT)?

My last dependent stills lives with me (16) I want the fastest and cheapest way out he won't leave the house so we will but how do I go about getting back in the house or having him help me live? He won't leave does not want a divorce and is an alchoholic.

Not sure what to tell you here. You can file for divorce and ask for possession of the marital residence. If given (it will only be given on a temp situation pending the divorce), you ask for spousal maintenance. I have no idea your situation (do you work, did you ever work, does he, etc.?) so I cannot say anything to what you might be able to reasonably expect to be awarded.

What sort of income does he have? When you say, help you live, do you mean you don't earn a full time income?

If he is and has been an alchoholic for years, he has likely shortened his lifespan and would be a likely candidate for maladies like cirrhosis of the liver. You need to (and probably should have, years before) get back into the workforce, or back to college or technical shool and prepair to support yourself for whenever it happens that he can't support you. It would be very unwise to expect to continue depending upon him for support.

You will be entitled to half the marital assets and half the marital debt. Have you and he accrued 401ks, IRAs or done any other retirement planning? If not, that's another reason you despirately need to get back into the workforce, because support alone would not be a sufficient retirement plan, even if granted long enough. He could very well predecease you by decades.

Can you qualify for a mortgage to buy out his interest and get him off the mortgage if you get the house?
