Unless you want to continue this acrimonious relationship, I suggest you hold on to the stuff for at least 30 to 60 days and WRITE LETTERS to your ex and to his family just to have written proof that you did not steal anything.

The Judge was the ONLY person who established your husband's visitation rights, and the Judge is the only person who can answer this question. Do NOT rely on a "military POA." Ask the Judge.
The employer didnt show for mediation, and after numerous request to show cause; the judge ruled they willfully failed to comply and found sanctions to be appropriate. He then ordered all defenses the employer may have had to the claims made striken and set a final hearing.

If you are the claimant ("claimant" is spelled with an "a") you are closer to winning than you were before filing the claims. However, unless and until the Judge actually enters a judgment in your favor you are not out of the woods.

The DOR is not a Court of Law. The DOR merely enforces the Orders of the Courts of Law.
As long as there is an enforceable judicial Order requiring you to pay child support, you must obey the Order.
If it is true that you cannot work, then you have to go back to Court, not whine to DOR.

Assuming that the lienholder has a valid financial grievance against you, like for not paying your obligations to them as you agreed, the answer is yes. Lienholders do not have to wait for someone else to initiate repossession proceedings to protect their liens.

The best answer you received is the answer from Mr. Thoraagard.
Unless you assume the lease, the solar panel company will probably repossess the solar panels.
