Interferring ex husband

[beema]

I have been separated from my husband for 11 months, I haven't changed the locks as we have two children aged 8 & 10yrs so its convenient not to. We have a big garage converted into a room in our back garden. He stores some equipment in it from time to time (in its secure loft). I use it as a gymn. My nephew is in a band and I have let him use it to practise in. My ex husband said he doesn't want a band to practise (he gave no reason) and got very annoyed. I said it was none of his business who came round as we were separated and I paid the mortgage, utilities and council tax. Surely an ex cannot dictate weather or not I allow my nephew's band to come round and practise- or anyting else in my life that does not involve the children.

if he has no right what so ever to the house he doesn't have a leg to stand on, he can moan all he wants but you are legally aloud to do what u want with ur property!!

obviously i dont know ur ex but would he be spiteful enough to report noise pollution that is ur only worry that he complains to the council or police about noise

is he on the deeds? you say you pay the mortgage but does he still own the property. he may have a say in what its used for in that case.
But i do think that perhaps he is being a bit petty if the band practice isnt affecting any of his personal possessions

You can invite who you like home, as can your husband.

Every spouse has a legal right to occupy the property and you can not prevent your husband entering unless you obtain an occupation order from court or an exclusion order in Scotland. If you change the locks your spouse may lawfully force entry. However your spouse is likely to be advised not to break into the property if you have changed the locks so it may be worth while doing so.
