Put Out

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Mississippi

My husband and a friend of his packed my belongings while I was visiting a friend and moved them to a friends garage. He then changed the locks on the house and told me that if I try to come back he will call the cops and have me arrested. We are married, and yes he owned the house before we got married so my name is not on the house. But can he prevent me from living there as long as we are married?

Here's a question, after a stunt like that, WHY would you even consider going back?

Its the marital residence so no, technically he cannot kick you out until he files for divorce, and is granted sole possession of the marital residence.

However, I will also echo the other poster...why would you want to go back?

What sort of "friend", out of curiousity.?

This is the sort of thing that will allow you to sue the pants off of him in your divorce. See a good lawyer today.

Hmm...yes...and what kind of 'friend' helps a husband pack up and move out a wife's stuff?

Well, I asked because I work with someone whose wife went off to visit a "friend" she met on the internet. A male friend. A guy she took up with while married. And IF my spouse ever did that he'd return to find his stuff out on the lawn too!
