Where does the law stand with regard to a childless couple separating and access to the house?

If either has left the house for a long period of time it can be argued that they should only return to the home with notice.

Should the locks be changed it is unlikely any action will be taken if the others housing needs are already met.
Hope this helps

Many thanks. Thought it would be a 50/50 split. No violence. Just wanted to be sure that access can't be denied.

Neither left the house for a long period. Other person doesn't have anywhere to live, as yet. Just making sure that the locks can't be changed legally. Now I know they can't. Thanks for answering. Much appreciated.
