back in May 2015 I filled for divorce from my husband. when he was served with the divorce papers back in May he stayed that night and has not stayed there since then. he comes back when I'm not there and picks up mail or whatever he does. I need to know if I can legally have my locks changed
You would have to file a motion for exclusive possession. Until that motion is granted, or a judgment is entered, he has as much right to the house as you do.
Talk to your lawyer, if you have one. If you don't, get one.
Not without a court order granting you exclusive possession. Speak with your attorney, that will be much more effective and less dangerous that seeking general advice over the Internet where all of the relevant facts are not known.
If you do not have counsel, engage an attorney now!
