Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

If a husband says to his wife “leave my home.”, then this is one of the metaphors of divorce and divorce does not take place unless he intended it. Therefore, if your husband had not wanted to initiate divorce with these words, then divorce does not take place.

Also, just him signing this paper does not lead to divorce, so you are still considered as husband and wife.

Finally, we advise you to be keen on achieving the stability of the marital life and avoid causes of problems, in addition to being wise when solving problems if they occur. Divorce does not solve the problem in general; rather, it worsens it especially if the spouses have children.

Allaah Knows best.
