We don't have any kids and have been married for three and a half years. Can I make him get me my own house? Is it within my rights to ask for my own place?

Unless there is marriage property, then you are entitled no nothing.
If your are unemployed you might be entitled to alimony. If you are employed, foggedabouit.
I advice you to get a reputable lawyer and make him pay for it. That's what I did. If he wants to get married so bad then you can make some demands, such as him paying for your legal fees and other things.
Good luck

Depends on where you live, however, most of the time no you cannot ask or demand a new place of residence from your spouse or soon to be ex. However, a reasonable request for half the marital estate would be in order, so long as you ask only for the parts of the estate created within the confines of the marriage time. Ask for anything outside the marital time, i.e. things he owned before you were married, and you may be in for a fight. Another route is alimony, however this can be sticky as well. Though I am always sorry to see a relationship end, there are times when, in the interest of peace and sanity, it becomes necessary. Good Luck.

Don't you already have a house together? I doubt you can make him buy you a house. Try going to counselling to just talk about whatever is troubling your marriage. Sounds like you've given up already asking for your own house. look at what you have and see if you both can improve on what was once a great marriage. Get out with other married couples to bring new life to your relationship. Don't give up just yet. You married him for reason, ask yourself what it was that you saw in him. Divorce is sometimes the easy way out instead of working on problem solving with your husband, it take two.

If you do get a divorce you can ask the courts for "spousal" support. That will help you get on your feet and move on with your life. Remember that you are legally entitled to half of everything. You can not expect him to buy you a house or anything crazy like that. That's just ridiculous. Try to talk to him and leave on good terms rather then having a messy divorce !

You have a short marriage but there are still rights. What have you accumulated together ? You can not make him buy you a house unless there is a lot of $$ in the relationship and that would require legal. If your marriage is more typical, you may be able to work out the details without an attorney or a mediating attorney, if you are able to talk it out. do not just blast forward with an attorney without doing your homework, unless you have $5,000 to blow on a lot of paper.
Dont let your emotions and adverse advise rule you.

depends on the state laws where you live, but doubtful - most states mandate that you must be married for a minimum of 7 years before asking for alimony/spousal support when there are no children involved. Special circumstances aside, you most likely will get nothing like that from him.

Depends on your financial condition. You should be entitled to half of the assets in most states, to be more specific, during the period you were married and accrued....Good Luck...
