Re: Seperation
If the house is in joint name, you have no legal right to change locks, absent a court order.
Suggest you file an Order to Show Cause for Temporary Exclusive Occupancy of the marital residence, including a Temporary Restraining Order on her removing any property, etc.
If you wish to discuss this with me privately, please call for a confidential attorney / client consultation.
I practice in NYC and Long Island.
