| dividing property
I live in Pennsylvania, I have been seperated for 5 months. My Husband and I had a somewhat rocky seperation but we had come to an agreement to divide the assests equally ourselves and save legal fees. I moved out and bought my own home. He knew I was not able to take everything right away and he agreed I could come back and we would finish what was left. Recently I asked for 1 air conditioner for our childrens bed room and he began to fight with me. He seems to almost have split personality. Once he will say you can have anything you want and then he demands nothing is leaving this house and he changed all of the locks. My name is on the deed and the mortgage. I have been trusting him to make the payments on time and I left him every item we ever purchased brand new. I only asked for one air conditioner, my bike, my daughters bike, my daughters bedroom furniture (which used to be mine when I was young) and a few odd items like christmas decorations and an old stove we had in the basement that I would use during the holidays or in the summer. His home is completely furnished with all items we purchased together. We both worked full time, making very close to the same pay, and any repairs or updates we made we worked side by side on. I don't think I am asking for much. What can I do legally to obtain some of these items? By the way the reason for the seperation, and soon i'm sure there will be a divorce, is his multiple affairs and my one in retaliation. It all sent me spiralling into counseling and when I told him I wanted out of the marriage I tried to explain he was not happy with me or he would not have need to look elsewhere and we were good friends but there was no physical attraction between us so why stay together. I did not want to hurt him, I even cried when the court granted me child support. I agreed to take a minimum and never ask for an increase. Why then does he still feel the need to degrade me, call me names in front of our children and then cry that he loves me and busted his ass to keep me happy? If you have any insight to these pondering questions please feel free to give all the advise you can. |
