No! In principle, a husband can only be banned from the family home by way of a court order on the basis of his violent behaviour – physical or emotional – towards his wife or children, or where there is a substantial threat, or substantial risk of violence towards a family member living there. An order cannot be granted just to separate the spouses and make it easier for the wife during divorce proceedings .
