Can commander restrict you from your residence?

Yes they can, but usually it involves an investigation into or report of some sort of domestic violence. You need to find out fully from your command why it is that a month later you are still being told to not go home, and I am assuming that the unit is providing some sort of "housing" for you. If you get the same response with nothing added to the reason then I would seek advice from both the JAG and IG.

I would use JAG for counsel. They will ensure that you are not violating UCMJ or the Soldier's rights.

The CRD can pull your pass which would restrict you to base without UCMJ action. Although we don't have formal pass cards it is still in AR600-8-10. You would have access to the limits of your post and although you don't need to show your pass card when going out the gate if caught off post you would be subject to UCMJ action.

The commander can administratively revoke a pass. This can effectively result in "cannot go home".

Yes, he can restrict you from your residence if he has reason to do so (suspected spousal endangerment, for example) and yes, if he doesn't have solid ground on domestic issues he can still restrict you from your residence in the more roundabout way of restricting you to the barracks.

A CDR can legally keep someone from their residence based off the circumstance, such as an domestic issue that may cause harm to the Soldier or the spouse. This usually follows an incident of that nature or the possibility of a future incident based off reliable information of a possible domestic issues may happen if left unprevented. good CDR's will get JAG involved to ensure that what they doing is legal and documented.

For what reason have you been told not to go to your residence, if you don't mind me asking.

Actually, the answer is yes (limited). It depends on where your residence is. If you get an Art. 15 (or higher) you can be restricted to base. If you live off base then during the period of your restriction you will have to stay in the barracks.

There's a thing called a "no contact order" and it can be up to 72 hours meaning your commander can put you in the barracks. As an MP, I have dealt with this with other Soldier of types of ranks.

came home drunk the mp's came and took me to get my blood tested I was obviously drunk so they told me to not go home. But this was the 15 of May. And they are still saying I cannot go home. It has been over a month. There is no restraining orders or ucmj action I am not in ANY TROUBLE My command is just telling me not to go home.
