Answer

If your sister obtains an ex-parte criminal temporary order of protection which specifies no contact, yes, you could be kept out of the house, even though it's yours and not hers and that she pays no rent.

As you will be a criminal defendant and should have a lawyer, you should ask him to try to get the protective order modified so that you can remain in your house so long as you avoid your sister.
