Yeah, so at least you've got the short term marriage thing working for you. So you won't have to endure perpetual alimony, no matter the final permantent amount.
Keep your chin up.

Well, every state is different. Heck I hear that things can vary judge by judge.
But it's my understanding that there is a general 'line' at a 10 year marriage. If you've been married more then 10 years, you may be on the hook for perpetual alimony. But shorter marriages often get alimony that only goes for something like 5 years.
That's what I hear, but I'm no expert by any means. Plus, I've been married for 17 years, so I haven't done a lot of research into the short marriage thing as it doesn't apply to me.

Ah yes. My wife did some of that, but thankfully she only took things that were clearly hers for the most part. But it's still kind of freaky. I'd start looking around every time I came home.
But I would think carefully about the right response to this. Changing the locks is a somewhat provocative act. I could easily see her dad freaking out, for example.
There could be an option to try and use this as a way to establish some degree of contact with your W. I managed to convince my W that I would help her move stuff out. Now, perhaps your W wouldn't go for that. But perhaps you could convince her to at least setup a time with you when she could come over and you would agree to vacate the house at that time. At least this would generate a series of email exchanges.
Of course, she just might not answer. But at least then you would have tried and she would likely be less surprised when she came over one day and locks were changed (because she refused to be civil and work with you on what is obviously a reasonable request).
Just a thought.
