What if his name is also on the mortgage/lease?

I thought about that when I answered this question and I think it's illegal to change the locks. I said yes out of the concern for her safety. (I would change the locks illegal or not if I felt threatened)
In a joint tenancy (in California), you may change the locks if you can provide proof that you are maintaining the home, paying the bills, and that he is not contributing. There is a time requirement for this. You may also establish a contract with him that you will do those things, and in signing, you can build a moat around the property!
Best to seek legal counsel. There are many organizations that provide free or very low cost assistance, if needed.
