I am so sorry for your situation. The problem here in giving any guudance is that you have not given any information as to the status of your situation. You have listed this matter in the "divorce" section of the question and answer forum. Are you in the process of a divorce? Was your spouse given ccupancy pending the divorce? If your spouse has locked you out and will not allow access with out an agreement or court order allowing him or her to do so then that is improper. You have a right to acess your property. But don't break locks or windows, etc. I would get some legal help here. Good luck.
