Q: I suffered a stroke Seven Months ago and now my husband is trying to kick me from my home
A: Presuming the two of you co-own the home, neither of you can “evict” the other, in normal times or during this pandemic. Either of you could file for divorce, and seek a preliminary order for exclusive possession, as explained here, or if there is a history of actual or threatened violence, file for a Temporary Protective Order as explained here.
In any event, you probably need to confer with a family law specialist. The aphasia may make even that more difficult, so it may be necessary to use email or some alternate means of communication. But you should not remain isolated an afraid; find out your rights, obligations, and options, and then decide what is in your best interest going forward.
