A: If your Order specifically states that you can keep the items for yourself or toss them away if he does not remove them within 120 days, it would not do either. Your ex is in violation of the Order and you must file a Contempt against him to get him to remove his things. I understand it is frustrating that you have to take further steps to get him to obey the Order so prior to filing a Contempt you should make every attempt to communicate with him about your intentions to file. Perhaps that may motivate him to get his things out of your property and save you time and money.
