House is owned by the both of us. Problem is that I have been forced out for a few weeks already and I was allowed some of my personal belongings. Cop said to me that he doesn't want to see anything more happening in this case. It's already on record.

That wouldn't work. The police already know I don't have access to my own house.  I'm sure I would be charged with something if I did that.

Had to call the police since I am being locked out of our home. Police said that this is a civil matter and there isn't anything they can do. They recommend that I hire an attorney. Unfreaking real.

Thanks tigger, advice taken.

Someone in my family is being subpoenaed to appear in family court. This is being done to harass and harm her and for no other real reason. I am pro-se and would like to know if there is a way to avoid having this family member appear in court. Is there a way to file an affidavit on her behalf or request another court date for her due to extreme hardship?

Fortunately there are no children in this marriage. I am trying to contact the wife to request access into my own home but so far she is ignoring me. I guess I am just going to have to show up in person and ask her to nicely to let me in. I don't want to call the police and cause a scene but that may have to be the next step since I have no alternatives.

Thank you Kitty. You are right that she will ante the next go-around. This is something I've been trying to avoid but just can't pay for 2 places to live on a long term basis. Thanks again.

Wife has not filed for divorce yet but has changed the locks so that I can't go into my own legal residence. I have temporarily agreed to stay out in an effort to keep the peace in the hope of reconciliation. I can't afford to stay out anymore and just want to live in my own home under my own roof. I do not want to cause her stress but she is treating me as a doormat and threatening to sell the house from under me. What should I do. I feel I have the legal right to live in my own house. How do I go about doing this? Do I call the police when I am unable to enter my home?

The judge first put a restraining order on 100% of the income that I was waiting to get from an unemployment appeal while still ordering me to pay CS (which I did). Once I won my unemployment appeal several months later, the judge ordered me to pay 100% of my unemployment wages I am waiting to receive. That combination basically has me paying over 130% of my reduced income towards CS and arrears. The judge also refused to give me an accurate arrears calculation and basically said I'm taking everything and recalculating the arrears you owe at a later date. It is my argument that the judge is overstepping federal law and ordering me to pay above and beyond ability. I paid as much as I could and it calculates to be over 120% of my reduced wages when you add in what I was already paying weekly but I am being threatened with incarceration regardless.

Lawyer states that I need to have two ex-spouses for the law to apply. I disagree.

The benefits from the gov. are my wages so I have to disagree that they are subject to 100% garnishment. To take all reduced wages at a time of crisis is a recipe disaster. Benefits are only a tiny fraction of former wages. To take all of those benefits means no survival. This is where the problem lies. Hey, I know I am preaching to the choir. Just trying to find a reasonable solution to avoid jail and contempt charges for something totally unreasonably imposed upon me.
