Recently Divorced.
Didn't want to sell the house.
Wife still lives there.
Here and I pay 1/2 of the mortgage each, and of course my name is still on it.
Settlement agreement advises she has right to privacy of marital home.
However, it also advises I have computer lab equiptment there, which I can keep there for 1 year, and can access to said equiptment twice per month, as long as I provide 48 hours notice.
I have yet to excercise this right, but yesterday she asked for my house keys. I declined. She is changing the locks! Can she do this?
I agree with the Attorney Riddle. If you had an attorney during the divorce, return to him/her to explain your rights. If you have the right to keep the items there, keep them there. If she changes the locks, file a petition for contempt. Simply because you had the right to access the items twice a month does not mean you had to do so. Therefore, it is unlikely, you waived your rights simply because you didn't exercise them.
