Respond to the following question based on the scenario:
While attending a domestic complaint, you encounter a man who is upset. He and his wife are separated and she has a court order that gives her exclusive possession of the family home.

She is becoming less and less compliant with the agreed upon parts of the separation agreement. You attend the residence and attempt to mediate things with the wife.
