I am in Alabama. My husband moved out 2 months ago and stated he wanted a divorce. He hasn't filed or made any legal move. He still comes and goes to our home freely and stays there when I'm out of town for work. He has moved all of his clothes and every day things out. We are both still paying the mortgage together. Does he have the right to come in and stay, go through my things, etc. when he's the one that moved out??? I want to change the locks but don't want this to hurt me when we go to court...any ideas?

Do you want to stay married to him?
It sounds like he doesnt want divorce....let me rephrase that. It sounds like he wants the benefits of divorce, but not the inconveniences.
He is acting in a calculated manner. You need to start saving money from ATM cash backs and saving it somewhere he cant find it. Dont tell him your comings and goings, you're setting yourself up on that one. Start documenting what you can about your finances. Keep a journal if you can and dont delete any phone messages. Even if things work out, you cant be too careful if they dont. It sounds - and Im sorry to say this but I did it so i know - you are giving him the benefit of the doubt when the doubt is trying to tell you not to - TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS - if the documentation is worthless in the end - you can always throw it away...but for the fact that you're asking and on a website to get info - I dont think your gut is lying to you - at least not as bad as he is. Best of luck - trust the God you love.

If there is no court order granting you sole occupancy of the marital residence he may come and go as he pleases, and so may you. If you change the locks, he could legally break in to what legally remains his residence (whether or not he lives there). I assume you both are on the title to the home, which means, absent of a court order stating otherwise, he can come and go, and you cannot change the locks.
