In the short term, you're in a bad way. Those temporary restraining orders (I'm assuming that's what was entered) can go into effect without you really having any say -- the idea is that there is a need for immediate relief (for her) so it can issue without any notice to you, provided you get your day in court sooner rather than later.
From a domestic violence standpoint, all of the following makes zero difference:
1. You are not on the lease.
2. You get your mail there.
Hell, in most states, if you owned the place together, and she testified that she felt she was in danger, you'd be out on your ass, although temporarily. The real inquiry will ultimately be whether you are a threat to her right now.
My free advice to you at your hearing -- be calm, own up to making a mistake by breaking her shit, and resist the temptation to burst in and interrupt her when she's telling her side of the story -- you'll get your chance. Ultimately, things like this come down to a matter of credibility, and in an informal proceeding like what I suspect you're in for, with no lawyers present, presenting a level head and a rational state of mind is invaluable.
Best of luck, bro...Comment

Tell her that the past few days events has caused you to realize that you cant bare to be away from her...that you are deeply in love, then get on one knee and propose to her. She should let you stay after that... This should give you enough time to find a new place and save up some money. then renig on the proposal.
Its a heartless act, I would never do it..... But it sounds like you might. Desperate times
Three years relationship and she wants you out in 2 days???? She must have a replacement lined up. If its been three years and the relationship hasn't gone anywhere.. maybe you should not waste her time and let her move on, as well as yourself
All day at work I kept thinking about this and laughed to myself. Two things I was laughing at. 1. How someone can go to a court house and claim violence against them and they fear more and the court will order someone out of the house with no opportunity to appeal. 2. How stupid she really is and what I was thinking 11 years ago when I married her.

^^well said...no matter what story she may say or concoct up, don't stoop to that level, because you'll only make yourself look worse. State your case simply and let het be the one interrupting you.
And admit to what you did wrong as well; if anything at least it'll make the decision easier to render.
man, you should go on like Judge Judy or somethingFM
