Obviously he must have! As I said, either party is able to ask for the arrangements in the Agreement to be altered at any point, as long as both parties agree then the Agreement can be altered.
The point is that the husband MUST HAVE AGREED to the paying of the mortgage, otherwise it would NOT be in the agreement at all. Nothing is put into a Separation Agreement until it has been reviewed and agreed by BOTH parties.
It is NO CONSEQUENCE who owns or pays for what. ALL THAT MATTERS is what is in the Separation Agreement, which I assume you and your husband have already in place. Anything other than the arrangements set out therein are IN BREACH. The husband obviously agreed to pay the mortgage, otherwise it wouldnt be set into the Agreement.
Obviously, either you or your husband can petition for amendments to the arrangements in the Agreement at any time. This is what your lawyers are for.
No, he is not therefore entitled to a key. It is down to your own discretion.
As regards changing locks, as some have mentioned, then not a good idea prior to taking legal counsel. However, I would advise to speak to your own lawyer and not take advice here. People will try and help, yes, of course. But in legal issues, it is unwise to take any others advice apart from your own lawyer's.
It totally depends on what is said in the Separation Agreement.
If this is not already thrashed out between your lawyers, then get it sorted now. Just because your husband is paying the mortgage, it does not mean he has automatic rights to have a key, or enter the house as and when he wishes.
I believe that America does have a lot to offer, although its not necessarily the Land of Milk and Honey, but where is?? I obviously dislike the healthcare system here, and am dreading getting ill , and some things are more expensive here for me, I have discovered.
But all in all, I love the little things..like the radio channels! All my favorite music is what is played here, and I remember when I was in my teens, listening to the US Top 40 and even then enjoying it more than the English one. So, in a way, I guess I have come home!!
Yep, my sister has lived in Florida for many years now, and Im not sure how I would cope with the heat and humidity there. As regards the welcome, yes, it has been great here.
I felt compelled to do this thread because I have been overwhelmed with how lovely everyone has been to me and how helpful they have been. New Yorkers seem to have great senses of humour, although they DO talk a little fast for me!!
All in all, its been one hell of an experience so far, and I will be very happy when all my paperwork is finished and I can settle down a little more..
Do you know what I find ironic? You are probably a realy nice lady, looking for love, and someone who has been hurt bigtime before, so you try and portray yourself as some one who is a maneater. I dont believe it for a moment.
Be yourself, and perhaps you will find some good friends.

Sorry, who was that directed at??
