One of the common question in divorce is whether a party change the locks on the marital home. The answer is normally yes assuming there is not Court/Temporary Order preventing you from accessing the home. You can change the locks if it is your house, condo, apartment, or camping trailer. However, if there is no court order, the other party can let themselves in and nothing prevents the person from accessing your home. However, a domestic disturbing the peace charge sometimes results from this or accusations of domestic violence. Also, some leases however may not allow for the changing of locks. This is a fact sensitive area and an attorney should be consulted on the issue.
