No, he can not.  Unless there is an agreeemnt that states he can have "exclusive occupancy" of the marital home or a court gives him exclusive occupance after he requests it, she has just as much a right to be ther as he does.  Now, it does not sound as if the situation is very good there.  Please encourage your Mother to get some legal help and emotional support to either file for exclusive occupancy and temproary custody of you (and your siblings if that be the case) and to get help with getting your dad to calm down.  And you need to talk to an adult you trust as well. Good luck.
