Chandler, AZ asked in Divorce for Arizona

Q: Does my husband have the right to keep my clothes from me if we are still married?

We are still married, but we are going to get a divorce. But I'm living with a friend and he told roommate he would bring the over and then he changed his mind. He said he would give me my clothes if I sign the divorce papers and let him get full custody of our daughter. Can he do this or does he have to give me back my clothes.

A: You are entitled to your clothing. You can call the police and ask for a stand by for them to assist you to pick up your clothing.

do NOT sign anything giving him full custody, even if you don't get the clothing back yet.

The most important thing about your divorce is probably going to be your children.

Do not be bullied.
