Hi, My husband and I have separated. He has not resided in the home for one month. Is it legal for me to change the door locks?
Answer
As a general rule, judges dislike self-help. I would not change the locks unless an attorney so advises, as he still has the right to enter the home.
If there is domestic violence, you can seek a TPO and ask for permission to change the locks.
If there will be a divorce, that is something to resolve in the divorce.
