Legal Question in Family Law in California

wife is demanding back rent after kicking me out

After my wife of just over a year demanded that I move out of our rented apartment, she restricted my access to the home to retrieve my belongings. After three months, I was finally able to come over and get the majority of my things. But now, she is claiming that I owe her my half of the rent from the apartment for the three months that my things where still there and refuses to allow me to pick up my computer system and my CD collection until I give her this money. Does she have the right to demand this money from me after forcing me to leave?
