Ex husband cant afford his rented house and is demanding to move back to family home

hatetherain!

I would appreciate any help anyone could give me here.
My husband walked out on me and our 2 year old last year and rented a house 50 miles away from us. On departure he said that he would continue to pay the mortgage and house and life insurance. He has always wanted me to pay half the mortgage but refused to pay anything towards the cost of fulltime childcare or towards the upkeep of our child.
He has now said that he cannot afford to stay in his rented place and is threatening to move back into the house.
Obviously I do not want a man that had an affair and is still seeing his girlfriend living with us and I do not want our child to see the awful way in which he speaks to me and treats me.
I am also concerned about the affect having him there until our child was 2 then him being gone for a year and then to have him back will have on our child. Who knows if he comes back and then goes again this will affect our child. I have never blocked access to our child and always said that the father / child relationship needs to be maintained.

Is there some way I can stop him coming back?

Thank you
