How can I prevent my wife from entering my house and taking what she believes is hers?
we are seperated and she wants to get what is hers, but I don’t agree that some of what she wants is hers. I want to know what I need to file to stop her from getting the items for now until eventually we go through the divorce.

What you should do is inform your attorney who is handling this matter of the possible issues surrounding the items being taken. Your wife may be entitled to them but without the final divorce decree she is not allowed to remove them from the home
Being as you are seperated and I assume in the process of getting a divorce you really should have your attorney handle these matters to ensure that its done correctly.
If you do not have an attorney you can attempt to file a restraining order if she has been ruled not allowed in the home upon the separation if not than you may want to hire an attorney to get the ball rolling and soon alleviate the problems all together
