Legally speaking you cannot deny her entry to the matrimonial home while she still retains a portion of ownership of it.

My lawyer who told me that winked and said that if the locks "broke" that I could feel free to change the cylinders out.

When my ex moved out we agreed that she advise me in advance when she could come back to the house for stuff. She treated that agreement like a "guideline" and advised me a couple of times and just came when she felt like it others.

She kept her keys to the mailbox until her boss (who runs the post outlet) got them from her when I asked about changing the locks. She never gave back the house key until the sale of the property was final which was a looongg time after she left.

It is possible that she's been in the house since then - she knows where I keep the spare key. Some odd things have happened that I can't explain otherwise.

Since her new place is not a matrimonial home, you have no rights there.

PS - Make sure you have an inventory of what she's taking. That will come out of her side of the settlement.
