Re: refusal by spouse to let me back into home
You have a right to occupy your matrimonial home which can be enforced through the courts under the Matrimonial Homes Act. If your husband's threats to exclude you are real you should apply to the court for an order establishing your right of occupation and ordering him not to interfere with this without delay. We would be willing to assist in this if required.
