Minneapolis, MN asked in Contracts for Minnesota

Q: 2 months after my wife and I signed a contract for self storage, she had my name removed. Can I legally go in there?

I called the owner of the sheds and he said 2 months afterwards that she called and wanted another contract written up but take me off of it. Now she's saying if I go in there she'll have me arrested. Is it legal for her to take me off a contract?

A: Apparently, she did enter into a new contract. Without knowing the terms of the contract you signed, I don't know if the new contract is valid. It may or it may not. I don't know anything about the dynamics of your relationship or your objectives. Are you getting divorced?

An attorney isn't going to give you the green light to break into the unit on a free online Q and A. The last thing an attorney wants is you telling the sheriff, "this attorney on AVVO told me I could get my stuff," while you sit in county jail. Then a few days later (at your arraignment,) you tell the judge the name of this (soon to be disbarred) attorney.

It does, however, very unlikely you will be arrested.
