Q: Is my ex really allowed to come on my property and vandalize my property and get away with it what can I do?
My ex husband and I have been together on and off since we divorced in 2012. For the last 5 months he has lived with me. He left Thanksgiving day and moved in with another women I took all his belongings to him a week later. He shows up at my house yesterday and I wouldn't let him in he left mad he didn't threaten me or put his hands on me but he busted the windshield on my car. I called police who said there was nothing they could do because he lived there I'm like no he left Thanksgiving. Told me I needed to evict him basically or he could legally come to my house and victimize me and there was nothing I could do. Why would I need to evict someone who no longer lives there? It wasn't my house he vandalized it was my car I don't understand is this correct what cops are telling me?
A: I think the cops were wrong and that you need to have a full discussion with a local attorney about this.
