Can my spouse refuse to let me back in? [VA]
Hi! Hampton Roads, VA
My husband and I have been married seven years, and have a 3 year old together. Throughout our relationship, we have lived together in a house he owns.
About four months ago, we started having problems and I began spending most nights at my mothers place, about an hour away. I also began seeing someone, and spending time at his place. About two months ago, my husband decided he wanted me back and we've been working on our relationship; so I've been splitting my time between my mom's house and our house. I also start a new job on Monday, minutes from our house; but the hours will make it impossible to drop out son at daycare if I try to do it from my mom's house.
However, he just told me on Friday that he's now seeing someone and that I'm not welcome in our home anymore, and he will have the cops arrest me for trespassing if I come home, because I had moved out.
We haven't had any kind of separation agreement or divorce hearing; no custody hearing or anything either. No court hearings at all.
Will he really be able to keep me from coming home tonight?
I know since the home is his, eventually he'll get it in the divorce. I just need a little more time to save up for a rental deposit and to find a new apartment nearby.
