What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
I left my husband 2 weeks ago.We are still married. He recently had the locks changed, and said he doesn't want me in the house when he isn't home. Isn't this illegal? I called the police.They said I can call a locksmith, or break into my home, and I wouldn't be arrested if someone reported it, due to the fact I was just living there 2 weeks ago. I can't afford a locksmith and I have pets at home. I don't want to break down the door, or break a window. It's 10 degrees outside. My husband is a trucker and on the road now. I just want to get some of my own personal things and things for my three children who are with me also, and my favorite pets are there also. I left because of domestic violence, (on his end). Also he left the key with a neighbor (male) who will be feeding the animals while he is on the road. What should I do?
