At first he said 6 months to move out. Then he came back and said a couple months. Now he has just given me a notarized (not legal) paper stating I have 30 days. We had an agreement that I could stay until the end of September (I have text message records of it, nothing in writing though). Anyway, he was at the house and cleaned out and went through my son’s stuff yesterday, without my permission. I am afraid to go home because he may be there, so I cannot pack up my stuff. Is there anything I can do to keep him out until I’m out?

No, unfortunately, this is, from what you write, his house, not yours--you have no right to exclude him from it, and he has every right to require you to leave at will. Living with someone without being married to him is a very precarious position--you have have essentially no rights to his property. The agreement you mention is most likely unenforceable, since there does not appear to have been any consideration (anything of value given by you to him) to bind the agreement. You are probably best served by removing your belongings and leaving as quickly as possible.
