[quote=Anonymous]If he doesn't want to leave, how is OP going to kick him out for doing something legal?

OP: you want a separation and you aren't comfortable with him being the primary caretaker for your children (if he's high while taking care of them, which may or may not be happening).

So you need to sit down with him and negotiate.  I don't think you are going to get any traction with a judge ordering your husband out of the house.  Maybe he will voluntarily agree to leave, but in answer to your question about paying for a place for him to stay-half of your household assets are his, so you don't get to decide unilaterally how much that place will cost.  And if you divorce, you may end up paying for both childcare and spousal support.

I understand pothead husband=dealbreaker for you.  But it sounds like he is a decent person aside from this issue.  What if you did a temporary in-place separation, put the kids in childcare, and he gets a job.  If he had a job, he would likely have less time to smoke and you wouldn't worry about the kids.  Once you have that stability you can work on a longterm solution.
