Q: How do I get my belongings from an ex girlfriend I lived with?
Exgirlfriend refuses to return my personal belongings. Recently discovered that she is trying to sell my guns as well. Had the police stand by because she does get violent but there was nothing they could do since she would not open the door. They recommended the constable but without a court order they can’t do anything. I don’t know what to do.
A: You might try finding a Justice of the Peace precinct map for your county and figuring out which precinct she lives in. Then visit the JP court and ask them for instructions on filing a small-claims case. Sometimes the court staff can even provide printed instructions.
