Asked in Divorce, Real Estate Law and Family Law for North Carolina

Q: If I solely own my house and land that my house sits on and have owned it before I got married

Can my husband have me arrested or even trespassed from the house and property that I own SOLELY and have owned since before the marriage? I would assume I can come and go as I please to my OWN house and property?… he just keeps threatening to have me arrested if I step foot on MY property? Is this possible? My Home is Located in Transylvania County, NC

A: Is there an order from a Court preventing you from going there? If so then husband can have you held in contempt. If no, then he plans on setting you up for an arrest which gives him leverage. You may wish to sell the home, or file an action for possession against him. You must hire a NC attorney as you obviously do not know what is going on.
