What is the name of your state? Kansas
I'm getting divorced and haven't lived with my husband for about a year now. Originally it was going to be a trial seperation, so I didn't get my stuff at the time I left. (Now it's for sure we're getting a divorce, he already filed to papers, but I haven't been served them yet.)
I want to get my stuff. He says "his lawyer warned him against letting me go through stuff". He wanted a list of things I wanted and that's all. I emailed him a list but made sure it said "this is only what I can think of right now, I need to go through things to make sure I have everything." Last Thursday, he said I could come over on Friday afternoon and get my stuff, but then that morning he sent me an email and said he wasn't available.
Out of the list I sent him, there were several things he commented on.
a painting he gave me as a gift - he says he likes it and seemed unhappy i asked for it (it's a painting of ballerinas, i danced ballet for 17 years, so i love it. not to mention it was a gift to me.)
pots and pans - we have 2 sets, i told him to keep one set, but I wanted to set my mom bought.
dishes - we both paid for dishes before we got married, i paid for about 60%-75% of them.
He wants to keep all the pots/pans and the dishes and give me like $150. I don't want that. I told him I'd pay the initial cost of 1/2 the dishes if I could have them, but I definately wanted my painting and the pots/pans my mother gave us.
How can I get my stuff? Both what is listed above and check the house to make sure I have everything of mine.
Also, we have a joint savings account. Am I entitled to half of what was there when I left? (That's where all my student loan money went into that I didn't use right away.)
