Background if u don't know...
Married 15 years. Have been out of the marital house for almost 1.5 years. I made a huge mistake by moving out, as my ex husband had said he would buy me out of the house and I trusted him. Still not a dime to show. It is our house -we bought it together, both our names are on it. Mortgage still in both our names. We share our children 50/50...
He will not split any of the assets in the house (will not let me have anything). My lawyer is incredibly slow due to workload, and I'm getting incredibly frustrated. When I wanted my clothes, she sent a note to his lawyer asking permission for me to go into the house with a witness/police. I find this ridiculous as it's my house...as a result I still haven't picked these up as I do not want to impose on any of my family/friends to be in this situation, and can't imagine the embarassment for our children if there are police at the door while I remove my goods. I have lots of pre-marital assets in the house (art, furniture, etc...). I will be taking him to court as he feels "I deserve nothing, and he's not going to give me anything"...Even though I've earned more than him the entire duration of our marriage, and supported him while he was unemployed.
What happens if I go into the house with my key, and just take these now without communication going to confirm date/time and without a witness ? He won't agree to anything ! I wanted a $40 plastic table from the garage for an Easter get together and he wouldn't give it to me (regardless of 2 other real dining tables in the house)... There is no more respect to be lost for this man...I just want to know if I could end up with charges or in jail. I've been playing by the 'book' so to speak, and it's not getting me anywhere...
Thanks...
