Falsely Arrested For Domestic Battery

I am a male, 51, falsely arrested for Domestic Battery. Married 2 years. My wife moved into my house with only her clothing. A No Contact Order was placed on me. Now I can't get into my house to gather my personal property. My wife has a severe prescription drug addiction and I have asked her to leave within the last 3 weeks.

How do I regain possession of MY home and then place a No Contact Order on her?

The trial set for July 27th. She apparently fell against furniture while over-medicated, which has happened multiple times, and bruised her back which she showed as evidence of abuse. We sleep in separate rooms and I was asleep all night and had no contact with her from 7 pm the previous night until 3 am at which time she called the police and accused me of abuse resulting in my arrest. There were no witnesses as we live alone. While the police were there, they noticed that she had injured her foot because of a blood trail to the bathroom. When questioned by the police, she could not recall how she injured her foot. Is there a defense there? Should I put her character into question? Mental instability? Her word against mine? Any specific motions that would benefit me? I'm unemployed.
