The best legal advice anyone can give you is to seek real advice by speaking in person to a family law attorney. Without a court order, your husband is entitled to remain in the home and even if you lock him out, he would be entitled to break in if necessary. Speak to an attorney and consider divorce. There are many great family law practitioners in your area. Speak to several and hire the one you like the best.

You will need to decide what you want to do - get divorced or stick it out, hoping that he will change his behavior. You can lock him out, but he can break into the house - since it is the residence of the both of you. If a divorce case is file, the Court will have the authority to take certain actions - including requiring him to stay out of the house - depending on the specific circumstances. If divorce is even an option, you should consult with an experienced family law attorney, to discuss your specific situation and to learn your legal options.

Hire an attorney to file a divorce. Then you can work towards securing a court order to get him booted from the house if there are sufficient facts to do so. Many lawyers offer free consults. Start searching on avvo.
