Re: Changing locks on the house

Changing locks is not an effective way to limit a spouse's access to the residence. Until a restraining order is entered, either party has the right to enter the premises. A restraining order is most often granted after the filing of a Petition for one of the following legal actions:

Protection From Abuse, Divorce, Annulment, or Legal Separation.

Consult an experienced family law attorney.
