After being separated for a month, can my husband come into the house and take property even though he has changed his address?
It’s his mother’s rental house so he said he has a key and can come take property including our dog any time he wants to. He changed his address with the post office and has lived at his mother’s house for roughly 5 weeks.

Unless you have been given exclusive use and occupancy of the home by a judge or you and he have agreed in writing that you have exclusive use and occupancy, he can return to the marital home. Now, he also has the obligations for rent, utilities, etc., of the marital home as well. Get help. Good luck.
