Re: living at home right
Hello. Moving out does change the situation. You are now more in jeopardy should your wife file for an order of protection. If you enter and she calls the police, there is a good chance
that local law enforcement officers will follow
the "off the books law" and arrest you. I am
sad to say that this is the usual procedure when
it comes to males and domestic relations disputes. I suggests staying away, but attempt to reach a compromise with your wife. If she files for divorce, there is nothing you can legally do to stop her. If that happens, hire an attorney and protect your rights and your parenting rights, if you have children. Will be happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
