Found out my husband of 18 years was having an affair. Had him legally removed from the house in Dec 2006. We signed a separation agreement in May 2007 stating he was to take immediate possession of a jointly owned car and boat and he wanted to take the wood stove we use as a primary heat source. He built a house with his girlfriend for them and their kids. (yes he has 2 daughters with her). She told him she did want anything that I had anything to do with in her yard and he had to build a garage to hide it in before he could get his "junk". It is now almost November and I am getting ready to move.
What do I do with this stuff? He has to pay me for 1/2 of what he paid for it and won't. Do I keep it? Do I junk the car and boat? I can't sell them because they are in both of our names. My friend says that after 90 days and he has not honored the agreement as it states "immediate possession", ownership becomes soley mine.
Help!!!! What do I do?

Consult your attorney. I would think that since he hasn't made any attempt to honor the agreement between you two that it would be your stuff to do with as you please. But, like said before I would consult your attorney.

When you move, leave it for the new owner or give it back to the lien holder. That way, you have not gone back on anything as he was supposed to take "immediate possession and did not. Whether your friend believes that ownership goes to you or not, the items are in his name as well ad you would still have to get his signature on the title in order to sell it. Another option is to call him and tell him you have the title and need him to come sign the title over to you completely or bring you the money within the week or you will be forced to have the judge review the case and his lack of cooperation in expediting this ordeal. If he does not comply by the alloted time, you can probably be awarded attorneys fees because he forced you to take legal action.

Consult a lawyer before you go ahead with anything. I believe your friend is right. He's abandoned his possessions. It's time to have a HUGE yard sale!

have a lawyer review your agreements as signed. You have rights as well as obligations--the lawyer cost should be split between you and ex.

Give him a specific date(through a lawyer) that he MUST come and collect it by and if he doesn't show up get rid of it all.
