No, you have legal rights to access your home and property – as does your spouse – even when you’ve filed for divorce.
Your spouse can’t kick you out of the home, damage, destroy, or remove your property, or otherwise deny you access to your home and property.
If you have concerns that your spouse may become violent or otherwise pose a threat to your safety, the court can intervene on your behalf.
Your spouse may be ordered out, or you may be given a police escort to let you safely retrieve your goods while you stay with a friend or relative.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer know that filing for divorce can create unintended consequences, including arguments over access to the marital home.
We protect our clients’ rights, especially when an angry spouse wants to take unreasonable actions like kicking them out of their homes.
