If he throws things at you or your wife, call the police and have him arrested. Domestic violence is a crime.

If he's throwing your things in your home, but not throwing them at anyone, tell him to leave. If he refuses, call the police and have him arrested. Vandalism and trespassing are crimes.

If he's throwing his own things in his own home because he's having a temper tantrum, well, adults are allowed to have temper tantrums in their own homes, and to destroy their own property. Go home and leave him to it.
