Q: Info on how to go and get my belongings and agreed items out of the house?
We have agreed on a list of things but she refuses me to go in the house to get them. She wants me to hire a moving company and they go and get the items. What are the options or legal way I would have to get my things?
A: It is not unusual for the spouse remaining in the home to resist the other spouse's reentry. She is likely concerned about a display of bitterness, a perceived invasion of privacy, or that you might remove more than your designated items. On the other hand, requiring professional movers is a bit overboard. You might suggest to her that she have family members or neighbors present to witness your item removal. Otherwise, have a judge specify the method of your removal process.
