Re: changing locks
Generally speaking, he has as much right to be in the house as you do, unless a court order says differently. Meaning, without a court order, you are wasting your money changing the locks. He might break a window to get in, and just cause more expense.
If he has been abusive, the ADA might be able to get you a protective order.
