You cannot have her removed from the home simply because the environment is hostile. The situation you are in is not a fun one and it might be best to consult with an attorney to discuss your options regarding separation. Helena M.

If I do not have a separation agreement through an attorney, can she take the kids from our home and/or out of the state? Does argueing constitute a hostile environment? My wife continues to acusse me of cheating and saying that im being secretive, she argues with me constantly and gets extremely “heated/hateful” at me. I’m trying to be nonconfrontational. Can this be considered a hostile environment where I would be able to have her removed from the house when we separate?
