Re: Probation laws for spouses
Unless you are on probation yourself, the probation officer cannot prevent you from filing for public assistance. However, the probation officer may know the rules regarding public assistance and may simply be trying to tell you that you would not qualify, under the facts, for public assistance.
You do not say whether you rent or own the property, whether your husband has any ownership interest, whether his name is on the lease, etc. Without that information, there is no way to know whether or not your husband has a right to reenter your home.
If you move out and get your own place you can exclude your husband. You may not have the resources to do that, but it is legally permitted.
