My husband's ex-wife won't return his military awards and war memorbilia..she is doing it to hurt him and to maintain a contection to him, one last control I guess...but these items weren't listed in the divorce cause he assumed he could just have them but now she won't give them back, it's been a year of her saying "yeah come get them" and then she won't open the door and pretends he's there without permission (cause he won't go alone)...anyway we asked the lawyer and she said we could sue but only for the dollar worth, we want the actual awards cause they mean a lot to him....I mean these are things he earned while fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom..does anyone know who we could get the actual items back?

I believe you can find information about replacing medals from your local VA.

If he can prove that they belong to him, he can probably get a police officer to go with him to her home and get them. It's often better if it's' NOT in the divorce settlement, then it's just a point of ownership...and the cops will know where she is coming from. Try talking to them and see what they suggest.

If shes holding them illegally - she has no entitlement to them - civil court.
Then bailiffs.
Then bailiffs and police.
Then if that fails - criminal court. Its theft.
She doesnt have to return them - she can hold on to them and eventually go to jail.
