Can a man legally kick his spouse out of the house if she doesn't do as he says?


Tom and Betty are married. Tom can be a bit of a control freak and its likely he got it from his father. He often tells Betty things like "my house, my rules. If you dont like it I can kick you out of you can leave, there's the door. This is my house!" Betty seems to have no backbone towards him at times and her family have told her to stop putting up w/Tom's behavior. In actuality, Betty's family paid cash for "his" house and the house is primarily in Betty's name with Tom's as a secondary. Betty's family did not want Tom's name on there at all, because he spends like there is no tomorrow and they were afraid he would act like this. Tom refused to make the mortgage payments to Betty's mom unless his name was put on the deed/property tax record. Can Tom legally kick Betty out and take everything even though Betty's family act like the bank and the couple pay the family?
