[CA] How do I handle a tenant turned squatter?

I own a house in a popular beach town in Southern California via a trust. Started rehabbing the house to provide family income. I hired an unlicensed contractor to do some work. I grew up with him, and he was going through some hard times. I let him stay there while the house was being worked on, and he agreed to pay rent. He ended up being completely unreliable. Sent rent late, partial payments, or did not pay at all. Promised to do work in exchange for rent, which was not always completed. City started sending me code enforcement issues over incomplete permits and a lack of a certificate of occupancy. He wanted to move his kids in which I denied because of permits and lack of c.o, said he will squat. I fired him from any and all work and am in talks with a licensed contractor to finish the house and close out the permits. Unlicensed contractor squatter wants a 2-year lease or an absurd payout of 30-40k. I paid him for all jobs he bid on in full, and the work was not finished as described.

[CA] My spouse stopped paying spousal support while our divorce is pending. Should I request temporary or regular spousal support?

I wanted you to look at this part of the MSA created on 11/3/2023 regarding spousal support. My spouse has not provided any support since April 2024 (he only paid for February, March, and April 2024). On the divorce paperwork, should I ask for temporary spousal support in line with the MSA, regular spousal support per the MSA, or both?

[CA] What are my options if my husband and I disagree on our divorce settlement?

My husband and I are going through a divorce. We planned to settle outside of court with our own MSA, but after 10 months of separation, we haven't agreed on spousal or child support. I was a stay-at-home mom finishing my bachelor’s degree at SDSU while caring for our children. He's still living in our co-owned home and won’t release my half of the equity—$150,000. He gives me small sums to cover bills, then complains and stops helping. I want to stop his financial control and know my legal options.
