Hi there. I have been married now for 6 months and I just recently received my Permanent Residence card (conditional). I am originally Canadian and recently I had a family member pass away and I came to Canada to spend time with my family (as I could not before until I was given permission by Immigration). A few days ago, my husband and I had a disagreement while I am here in Canada and he is at home in California, and he cancelled my plain ticket to return home to California and told me he wanted out of the marriage and that I am no longer welcome back to our home. He stated that he was going to change the locks and have my clothing and things shipped to me. I telephoned Concord Police and they informed me that he cannot keep me from our home as long as I lived there for 30 days or more (in which I have). They stated that neither one of us can keep the other out of our home. What are my rights? Do I have any at all? Can he actually do this?

You cannot be kept out of the marital home. At least not until some divorce decree is issued.

Hi Scott! Thank you very much for your response. I feel a little better now.
