What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
Good evening. I am seeking advice on an issue. Last week I was in a fight with my ex and he hit me. I left. I was gone over a week but told him I would be after my belongings. I went last Friday with a truck and the police and he would not let me in. He decided to wait until this past Tuesday to let me get my stuff. When I went to pick it up, he and his friends put everything I own (which was basically everything in the house) in a big pile in the garage. The majority of my stuff is damaged. The cop told me to take pictures of anything damaged. I did. I was not able to get all of my stuff because they packed it with trash..and made it very difficult to get everything. I told him I would be back and he said no to come get it the next day. I told him I could not that soon. The cop told him if he destroys anything of mine that is of value that he would be responsible. I have decided not to let him get away with this and would like to go to court. My question is, would it be a waste of time and money? He broke alot of my stuff. Even down the the dishes I had. He did not pack anything correctly. I am sure he did this on purpose. Now, keep in mind, we were living in his moms old house. We did not have a lease but I paid all bills. He is jobless and paid for nothing. Any thoughts on the situation I am in? I appreciate your time and your feedback. I just want to make the right decision. Thank you.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
