during a temporary divorce hearing the judge ordered me to vacate the weekend house I’ve been living in. My wife has a restraining order against me but also owns Five other homes. One of those she’s lived in for 20 years . I’m basically tossed out on the street with no place to go and cannot return to the weekend home where my work supplies are. What are my rights here
