Entrapment?

My wife, my mother, her boyfriend and myself decided to move into a house together. My mother's boyfriend has said on several occasions in front of both my wife and I that he purposely had my mother move in to retaliate against her. They were living in a place together, but it was in her name, and now the house we're living in is in his name. He basically wanted to get her into ''his'' house so if and when he wanted to, he could kick her out, leave her with no place to live, and leave her in a major financial bind. Wouldn't this be considered entrapment? What could she do about it? What rights does she have? (They have been together for over 6 years, they have property together and she did help with the down payment on the current house.)

They need to consult a lawyer and have the real estate properly titled to reflect the legitimate interests of both parties. If he won't cooperate, she needs to consult a divorce lawyer to take the necessary steps to protect her interests before it is too late.
