How can I get my personal property back when I am going through a divorce?
I left the house and now I need personal items from the home.
This happens frequently in divorce situations when one party leaves the marital home and does not take everything with them that they need. Your spouse might be angry and not let you in to the house and you of course don’t want to risk having the cops called.
Normally an attorney will sit down with you and go over the items that are in dispute and resolve the issue. U
nfortunately this can sometimes take longer than one might like.
You can request a civil standby from the local police where they supervise the visit and the items that are taken from the home. Law enforcement are normally hesitant to come to your home and they may require a court order prior to handling the situation.
It’s always a good idea to take all the necessary items from the home before you leave, but hopefully this information will help guide your next steps if you find yourself in this situation.
As always, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or to set up a free consultation.
