do i need to call the sherrif to get my stuff if I am leaving my wife?

Question

Is it worth it or just chalk it to a loss??

Answer 1

How bad do you want your stuff? Do you think the ***** will go sickhouse on your *** if you show up? Never mind, take the sheriff along so you have a an eyewitness when she falsely accuses you of being physical with you, we all know just how incredibly vindictive woman are.

Answer 2

If you need your belongings, call the sheriff to avoid a domestic dispute....most of them have time to help out here and would appreciate a preventive call instead of having to write up an incident report. You could also chalk it up to a loss because you may associate your items with the wife, which probably won't bring any pleasure. But if you need clothes, books, etc., and you purchased them in the first place, then yes, you should have them back.

Answer 3

You seems angry, did your wife betray you? or you just meet another younger woman?Well, I disagree about your opinion on getting a sherrif, it seems you try to threaten and embarrass your wife, so that your neighbor will know that you are leaving your wife. Maybe you can mellow a little bit so that you can talk to her civilly, and claim your stuff, remember that you have love this woman before, and if your marriage turned sour, there still a soft spot inside your heart for you to say goodbye .

Answer 4

How much is your stuff worth to you? How much will it cost to replace it? How LONG will it take to replace it? These questions will help you decide whether it is worth it.

If it is worth it, I'd say move it and/or take as much as you can with you now (or even before you leave).

1) If you leave it and your wife is "reasonable", you can pick it up any time.
2) If she is the angry sort, you'll need a sheriff to stand by while you pick it up.
3) If she is royally ticked, she'll claim it is hers and you'll have to go to court to have it them divide it up in the divorce settlement.

Note: If she is #1 (above) and you take EVERYTHING (or enough she will feel insulted), she will become #3 (above). So be careful.

Answer 5

It depends on what kind of things you are trying to get. Is it expensive stuff? Is it something that has a lot of personal meaning behind it? Is it just things you can pick up again sometime down the road when you are out shopping? I found out that even if the law says anything that was yours before the marriage stays yours after, and anything that was hers prior to the marriage remains hers after...doesn't mean it is going to happen. His lawyer is telling me I need to get my own lawyer just to get my own things. Personally I can't afford a couple grand to get a few hundred dollars worth of stuff. BUT...I am pushing the issue. The only reason it is worth it to me is because some of it was stuff that belonged to my brother before he died. Some of it belongs to my child. But a lot of the reason is because it is a matter of ethics and morals...neither of which he has.

Answer 6

If she is willing to let you have your stuff, then it would be in your best interest to have a deputy present to keep the peace and is beneficial to both so he can see what youre taking so if there is any future accusations. Or if the things arent worth much then forget it. If possible, make a list of your things you wish to retrieve before getting thre and give a copy to the deputy and to your ex. Good luck

Answer 7

Not if you only take your stuff ..it's your stuff, right?
you do live there right?
be sure she's there if she knows you're leaving and she wont kill you!!
otherwise while she's not there and leave the extra key..not the copy you make,..just in case you need to get in with her approval if she's not there.
not to sneek, stalk or steal, etc
of course you could always call the Sherrif to ask first...
good luck

Answer 8

If you want your stuff, it's best to have law-enforcement standing present while you are gathering your stuff up and moving it out.

Otherwise your wife could make all kinds of accusations of abuse, assault, etc and then you'd be in deep trouble with the law.

So call the cops and have them go with you to get your stuff. Better safe than sorry.

Answer 9

If you need to return to get things, having the sheriff or police do an civil standby is a very good idea. They just watch you move your stuff, and keep the peace.

Answer 10

If you want your stuff then you have to dael with the law. It will make things allot easier and much less tense or you could just put everything behind you and start fresher.
