ok, first there is a little shame on you involved here -
"almost from the time we got married he wanted to develop an open marriage"right from the get go you had a flaming red flag as to the type of person he was but you ignored it - you can't say you were taken by a con man - you chose to ignore the warning signs because you "loved him". I'll hazard a guess you figured he'd change for you if you did everything for him....that said - the marital home - if his name is on it, the only way to get it from him IS to pay him off from his share. That actually goes for any of the properties. You don't say what state you are in so I can't tell you if the percentage is just what is equitable, or if it is a community property state, in which it would be half. the infidelity - if you live in a state that recognizes fault divorces then take advantage of it - hire a private investigator to follow him and get proof - he doesn't have to stay out all night to be considered cheating. That evidence will give you an advantage in court regarding the settlement. Only way to get him out of the house is to file for divorce and control of the marital home. I'm a family law attorney
