Yes you can stop him from moving out of your home. It is not easy however.

You can under a number of circumstances also limit the amount of time he sees her. You should get a lawyer to discuss your options. Obviously, you can bring a PINS petition, or you can even bring a writ of Habeus Corpus.

Good Luck.
