My husband leaves and takes my child and now wants back into the house to collect his stuff what can I do?

With regard to the house, as this is the marital residence, he has the same right to be there as you. You cannot keep him out unless you file for divorce and obtain a court order for exclusive use. As for the child, when you say you both have legal custody, but the child is not of the marriage, you need to be sure you are correct about that. If the child was born during the marriage, it is presumed marital, but you can challenge that on divorce. If he is keeping the child from you, you can file for divorce and inform the court of his actions. Courts do not like such behavior.

If she is a full time high school student, then yes, until age 19 or she graduates (whichever comes first). If she has already graduated or has stopped going to high school full time, then your obligation terminates.

My husband and I have been separated for 7 years due to him committing adultery. He recently received money in a lawsuit. Am I entitled to half?

No ma'am.  A personal injury award is considered "separate property" which is not divisible.  If there is an identified "income compenent" specified in the recovery, then that could be pursued as being marital income.
