Ocupation order

[Afiakha]

My husband has threatened to change the locks on the door and wont let me and my 2 autistic boys (3 and 5 yrs) back into the house if I attend my best friend's wedding. My boys are very attached to their home and follows strict routine, if he does'nt let us back into our home then its going to have a very adverse effect on the boys. What can i do to stop him changing the locks? and if he does change the locks is there a legal way to get back into the house? if so how do i go about with it? , i need to put things in motion now in order to prevent homelessness once i come back from the wedding which is in under 2 weeks. The house is under his name.
Any advice will be appreciated, i feel so helpless.

Thank you

Sorry, forgot to say that we had a islamic shariah wedding and didnt have a registry. Unfortunatley the shariah marriage is not recognised by the law as my husband refuses to register our marriage, which leaves me with no rights over the house however we do have kids together so i'm not sure if i would be granted a occupation order for the sake of the kids, if so how do i go about with the process, i need to start now before it is too late.

Did you marry here in the UK?

You need to find an Islamic women's centre or something similar... most people on here cannot properly advise once shariah law is involved.

Looking at unmarried couples where 1 is the sole owner you might be able to get an occupation order... however this will take time, cost money in solicitors and if you are not able to demonstrate a beneficial interest in the property, would only last for 6 months.

I'm more concerned that you husband is threatening to make you (and your kids?) Homeless if you attend a friends wedding... there has to more to that one! What is your position in terms of work, what about the boys and his family - could he be seeking to take them from you?
