Since you state that you have no informal marriage, you are tenants in common. You own your property, and he owns his. You are a legal resident of the house, and he can't "kick you out" -- but he can file for an eviction and ask the court to force you out. If you have made monetary improvements to the house, and/or made mortgage payments, you may be entitled to a reimbursement of those monies.
