Locked out of my own house
      #732063 - 02/20/11 04:15 PM

A few months ago my husband snapped. He has a history of paranoia and was on medication when he was a teen. Anyhow, He started getting completely paranoid, started breaking into into my personal email accounts, going through my old boxes and reading my old journals. He was convinced i was cheating (I wasn't) and wasn't convinced when he found nothing. He even started keeping logs on phone calls.

Long story short, I am a stay at home mom to a 7 year old little girl (I quit my job to raise her, a joint decision to avoid daycare). 2 weeks ago I found out he had his direct deposit check changed to a secret account he established, had stayed home from work a few days before to spy on me from the basement, he even let the air out of the tires of the car I was *in* trying to drive away from him (this was a few months ago). I decided we needed a "breather" and went to stay with my parents who live 10 minutes away.

A went back to the house to get some of my belongings only to find out he changed the locks.

I foster cats and all of my cats are in that house (there are 6 total...4 are mine and 2 are fosters). He has put them all in the basement and has threatened to let them all out the front door or bring them to the pound if I dont get them. There is no place to put them in this house...I could maybe take 1 or 2 and keep them in this room I'm in but they have an Australian Sheppherd mix here that would make minced meat of them quickly if they got out.

Didn't I say something about "long story short" a while back? Sorry....

Anyhow...I'm at a loss. I have been locked out of my house. I have no money. I am sick to death with worry about the animals. And he has been nothing but nasty to me in any dealings we have with eachother over our daughter (we've been "sharing" her...she stays at his house the 2 days he is off and here the rest of the time.)

The other thing he is doing is when she is with him she stays up late, doesn't take her medication (she has chronic asthma) doesn't take a bath, doesn't do her homework, etc....and when she is here I make her do all that so she likes being with him much better. When I picked her up yesterday she was pouting "when am I going back to daddy?"

I am just devastated. I spoke to 2 attorneys. One wanted $5000 and the other gave me a 20 minute free consult with pretty much was pointless. He billed at $25 for every 6 minutes over the 20 minutes. I am penniless and dont know how to go about taking a step in the right direction. Does anyone have any insight or advice they can offer me. I'm at a total loss.

If there are no legal documents (like a court order) that blocks access to your marital home, you have the right to break locks or whatever to gain entrance to get your posssessions. Are you listed as the property owner?
You should probably have someone with you-like a policeman- for protection should your husband appear and go berserk.
