What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Iowa
My wife and I are going through a divorse.
She recently moved out.
Now that she has her own place, do I have to let her in to our house?
She wants to still come and go as she wants.
Can I change the locks?
What about her belongings that are still in the house?
She tells me not to touch them. But I can't walk in the bedroom.
Can I move her items to the garage?
Or load them up and take them to her new house?
She says if I touch anything she will call the police.

yes, you can put them in the garage. I wouldn't bother taking them to her new place. Yes, you can change the locks, but at the same time, she would have every right to "break in".
