Can a sherif take your house without informing you first?

Was that your lawyer who said it?  The chances are that the lawyer was telling the truth -- he or she knows the facts and the local law, no matter whose lawyer it was.\n\nGeneral legal principles -- the specifics vary by state, and you can't apply the law without knowing the facts:\n\nIf your business was incorporated, or was a limited liability company, it may be hard to get your personal house -- it is possible, but if you ran the business correctly, they shouldn't be able to. In many states there are also protections for a person's sole dwelling place.  But I suppose you probably used the house as collateral -- in which case all bets are off.\n\nThe answer is that a person that has recorded a debt against your house can force a foreclosure sale by the sheriff.  You have to have notice, and in most (all?) states would have a right to buy the loan off if you have the money.  But the amount of notice varies by state, and it might be short where you are.\n\nIf you are short of money, there may be a legal clinic which can answer some of your questions.  Look for Legal Aid, or try a local law school -- they often have very good clinics.

it's her choice if she is uncomfortable with strangers in the house, I don't blame her. If they help while you are there with them then yeah it's fine but she shouldn't have to be there with strangers when you're not there. You may think you know these people but they may be thieves or rapist you can never be 100% sure, especially if they are desperate enough for money that they will do chores for you.

Yes, they can take your car, your house, and any thing else associated with the crime. It is part of RICO Anti-racketeering law.\n\nOh, and you still have financial responsibily for the confiscated items.

yes you do. but you may have to prove that it is yours and you must have the police there with you. one exception if you rented the place and you left owing any rent they can hold it till you pay the past due amout but they have to send you a legal notice

If they want the household income and he lived with you and his name is on the bills too then yes. If there is no way to prove he is part of your household then no.

Does the current wife own the house? If yes then of course, if he's the owner then he'll have to give her permission, but of course can still be done.  The state would only be able to collect what was owed, and since he was up to date that wouldn't be much that he's behind.

yes, if it is 100% yours, and he/she who is on it has no share in it. you have every right to, either call the cops or get a restraining order, and they would not be allowed within 100 yeards of the property

the landlord must have a key, in case they need to get in for an emergency. other wise they are not allowed in your room without you knowing about it. its in your rental agreement.

Landlord / tenant laws vary greatly from state to state, and even from city to city.  In most places the deal is that the landlord can't engage in "self-help," that is, locking you out of your residence or throwing your things out on the street, without a court order. Some crazy states, like Texas, allow a landlord to take out a "landlord's lien," on your personal property, which may allow them to take possession of your stuff as security for failure to pay rent.\n\nHere's a link to an article about freezeouts on findlaw.com, a reputable source that's used by attorneys and average citizens alike:\nhttp://realestate.findlaw.com/landlord/landlord-eviction/tenant-eviction-illegal-self-help.html\n\nHere's another website based on Ohio law.  This sounds similar to the processes in many states, but may or may not be the same as your state:\nhttp://www.ohiolandlordtenant.com/faq2.html

If you didn't let them in when they already asked you (though most SWAT won't ask) or if you are proved guilty by whatever they charge you, you can't ask (or sue) them to replace your door.\nWell, if you're innocent, you can ask (or sue) more than just a single door. Consult with your lawyer.

She can do.  Once you break the law, your life is not your own.  Your probation officer can come to your home at anytime and search it without warrant...

In general a better answer is yes she can, through what is commonly referred to as a QDRO (qualified domestic relations order).  The amount she may or will be entitled to varies by court decision in most cases, she could take none, all, or some.  Sorry for the bad news.  Talk to an attorney.

If police knock and ask to enter your home, you may refuse to admit them without a warrant signed by a judge with one exception — in some emergency situations (like when a person is screaming for help inside, or when the police are chasing someone) officers are allowed to enter and search your home without a warrant. Also they Can enter if there has been a question about your well being. Meaning someone has called and stated they haven't heard from you in some time and are concerned. Hey using a key is much better than replacing a busted down door.
