The "simple" answer is that you can change the locks, but she can do what she wants to get back in (break windows, etc.). There may be some options available to you, but more information is needed in order to provide any specific advice.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.SpartanburgLawyers.com). I wish you the best of luck.
