He can't just tell you to "get out". If he wants a divorce, he can move out and file for one. You can (and should) ask for use and occupancy of the home, as well as spousal support. The Court can award you the home and make him pay you spousal support. Remember that if you are married, there is no such thing as "his" property/income and "your" property/income. You both own 50% of everything either of you acquired during the marriage.
