What to do if my wife has conspired with my landlord to put me out of our apartment?

She is now seeking spousal and child support only 2 weeks after doing so and refuses to let me even see our son. I have no job and am staying at my parents due to these actions. Is there anything that can be done? Is there anything in court that I should do? I am asking everywhere but no one will give me any help. She took everything I had, threw my clothes out onto the lawn and made sure the landlord wouldn’t let me on the property to retrieve them until after I had a court order.

If you are on the lease to the rental that you have written about, your landlord legally cannot stop you from entering the unit. Given the fact that the dispute you have written about sounds more like a family law issue as opposed to a landlord tenant matter, you should consult with a family law attorney for guidance.

I suggest that you consider filing a petition with the court for custody and visitation concerning your child.
