Can I move back into my house after my wife served me divorce papers?

The short answer is yes. If no violence and you are on title, the police will not make you leave. Be careful of the potential of a false claim of violence.

Unless she has a restraining order keeping you out of the house, you have rights to possess the house.

The court will generally not interfere with agreements between husband and wife. Your best bet is to communicate with her directly. I advise you consult an attorney so that you understand the obligations and ramifications.

Is it legal? Probably, though more than likely at this point she has changed the locks. Is it smart? Probably not.

Interesting question. It would seem to me that if you have not been in your home for the last 6 months, and your wife has been living there, it is possible that you could be considered a trespasser, even though your name is on the title. The best approach is to rent an apartment, for now, and get the divorce over with in as short a time as possible. Have you considered Mediation? Mediation is Fast, Effective and Affordable. It can be completed within about 8 weeks, from start to finish, IF your wife agrees. Talk with her about mediation. Mediation can work for both of you, but without an agreement from both parties, you will not be able to mediate without a Court Order. Good luck.

Just because you were served with divorce papers doesn't mean you can't live in the house. In order to exclude you the other party needs to apply for and receive a restraining order that you vacate the family home. The downside is that living in the same house when you are getting divorced and be extremely stressful and lead to some rather unpleasant situations.
