1. Yes. You can also request exclusive use of the marital home, and he will then have to leave.

2. It would be best advised, yes.

3. Custody will be decided on "best interest". If you've been primary caregiver, there's a more than decent chance that you will remain the primary parent.

I'm going to correct answer #1. OP's question was whether SHE can serve him. The answer is 'no'. She can not serve him, but she can have him served by someone else.
