I was married and living with my husband up until this past January. He pretty much forced me out of the home, leaving all my possessions there. I had to go out of state to stay with family until I could get back on my feet since I left with nothing. I spoke with him shortly after I left and he said he'd ship my stuff to me which he never did. Leaving the way I did, with nothing, and having to start over, I cannot afford an atty and they will not represent me for free in Texas where I am now.
My question is, since he forced me from the home so suddenly, can he just claim that I abandoned my possessions and had every right to do whatever he wanted with them? Do I have any claim to what was left there or at least the value of it? I understand once I go thru divorce I'll get 50% of the assets of the house but at this point, I can't afford to file for quite awhile and by the time I do, I'm afraid he'll have gotten rid of everything to hide what the home and contents are really worth.
