How do I get my stuff out. I have an emailed list from her detailing what is mine and what is hers, which she sent me....Do I have any recourse. It was an apartment which I was listed as an occupant, but not on the lease. I received no notice. What do I do? She has changed the locks..

Talk with your lawyer, you may need the police there to supervise. They will do this for you on request.

Check with an attorney, you have rights. Contact the police to see how you go about getting your belongings back. Also take any paperwork listing you as an occupant. If you changed your address on your drivers license show them that too. Also let the landlord know the locks were changed, that may be a violation of the lease.

Unfortunately, this is a fairly common situation. Although it may ultimately require the intervention of the courts, you might try a more subtle approach first. Have you tried calling your ex to see if she will set a date and time for you to come and gather your stuff? If she is not willing to be reasonable, try talking to your local sheriff's office to see if they will do a "standby" while you enter into the apartment and gather your stuff. Even if she seems willing to be reasonable, consider having the sheriff do a standby if you have any reason whatsoever to believe that she might later accuse you of violence during the stop to gather your things. Likewise, she might feel more comfortable with the sheriff there as well.
Good luck.

Maybe you should explain the situation to the landlord. He can open the apartment for you. Also as your local sheriffs dept if they can have a deputy present.

Go to the court and get a replevin. The cops will go with you to get your property but won't help you get it. You have to pay a fee, but when you go before the judge, she will have to give you your money back. Keep up with that list, it proves whats yours and that she admits it's yours.

i would not go over there unless i had the police with me . it will avoid a lot of problems in the long run.not only that she cant say you did something you didnt because the police will be there to prove otherwise.
