الجواب وبالله التوفيق

Saying “Get out of my home” is an allusive statement for issuing divorce (i.e. speech, characterized by indirect references). If the intention by making that statement was to issue a divorce, then according to Islamic Shar‘iah one Talaq-e-Ba‘in(irrevocable divorce) has taken place, and if the intention was not to issue a divorce, then the divorce has not taken place.

 The only way to determine what his intention was will be to ask him; whatever he says will be believed as the truth.

 Since you have mentioned that your husband has already issued 2 divorces in the past, if his intention was to divorce you by making the statement he made, you will no longer be considered his wife. Therefore, it should be asked what his intention was.
