My common-law husband and I have been together almost 10 years and have 2 children together. We have always, but for one year, rented his father's house. My "husband" has lived in the house since he was 12 with his father until his father moved in with his girlfriend and left the house for my husband to stay in. He did not give him the house, i.e. sell the house to him, just let him continue to live here rent free. When I came along we had a child very early in our relationship and I moved into this house rather quickly. Then his dad wanted rent which we pay. Now 10 years later I want out to continue an affair, but he wants me out of this house. Other than his father selling house from underneath me, can I be kicked out of this house? We have both paid rent, but he has been the only one working full-time. I have been at home raising the children and tending to the house while periodically (in between my two pregnancies) working part-time. I now work from home but make very little money. I suffer from severe migraines and having a full time job has always been difficult as most employers can't sustain an employee that has 4 or 5 days off in a row a couple of times a month. This is why I set up my own business at home, but I am not capable, as of yet, of making a fulltime wage because it's a production based business and I have to work towards a full-time wage. Even at full-time, I won't make enough to support myself and the kids 50/50. I have always been told that it's in the interest of the children to have their lives stay the same as much as possible during a separation or divorce and it makes sense to me that I stay here with the kids. Logistically it's impossible for me not to unless I have another place and the kids are there with me during the day. If they stay here and I move out (which I can't afford) he won't be able to get the kids ready for school or send them for daycare. I will, of course, have them as well but on days when I don't he won't have the ability to do this.
