My husband changed the front door code and kicked me out... How do I get into 'my house'?

2025-10-16

The case centered on a husband's alleged unauthorized use of his wife's seal to transfer property during a divorce proceeding, while changing the front door password and preventing her from entering. Yoon Jung-yeon, a lawyer at Law Firm Tong, pointed out that the unauthorized use of the seal was a more urgent issue than a simple restraining order, and recommended a swift response by filing a criminal complaint and a civil lawsuit to prevent and recover the property. Mr. Yoon suggested a strategy of seeking civil recovery (name change cancellation and property recovery) while keeping open the possibility of criminal punishment such as forgery and embezzlement through criminal proceedings. He also emphasized the need to prevent the spread of damage through a combination of various legal means, such as access injunctions to secure residential rights and restraining and victim protection orders to protect personal safety.
