People who are going through a divorce should not change the locks before the divorce is finalized. If a judge has not awarded the house to anyone yet, it would be advisable to contact the police regarding the matter.

Yes, you can change the locks if you have a formal separation agreement and you have received the house temporarily. If you don't have control of the house, you cannot change the locks.

Do you have the right to change your apt locks in the state of PA?

If you are living in a property owned by another business or person, no. You have to contact the property owner and have them change the locks (or provide you with the new locks so you can change them). If you are the property owner and there is a person renting you can only change the locks after you've notified the renter about the change in writing. If you have evicted the renter and they refuse to leave/turn in keys or there is no renter then you can change the locks at will.
