Have your attorney petition the court to get you back in the house.

Re: Can My children & I move back home?

Yes, you can obtain a provisional order allowing for you to have temporary possession of the home. The court looks at what is in the best interest of the children. However, since the home is owned by your mother in law, if there is no lease, she could give you notice( the amount depends on the circumstances) and require that you move out. However, the court could also order that he pay additional living expenses.

BOTTOM LINE: get an attorney. If your husband makes substantially greater earnings than you do, the court may order him to pay your attorney's fees.

Good luck.
