What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
After filing for divorce and to avoid the potential of physical altercations, I moved myself and a few belongings out of the house. I left about 3 weeks ago.
The mortgage ad all utilities are in my name, I purchased the home shortly before we wed.
I need to get a few more things out of the house, especially some clothing and items I will need for work this spring. The wife had refused to cooperate and, without my permission, changed the locks to the house. She said to work it out through the lawyers, except I will need these items before the court would hear my case.
Can I legally force entry into the home to retrieve these items that are clearly not joint property?
