Re: Matrimonal law in maryland
Have you tried going to the police to get their assistance in getting you back into your home? If you can establish that you are a joint owner of the property, she had no right to do what she did, absent a court order excluding you (which would be based on a claim of domestic violence).
If the police won't assist you, you would have to file an emergency court petition seeking an order requiring her to let you back in.
